What should be the infusion pump rate?(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 8
Rationale:
Step 1: Calculate the total units of heparin in the bag, which is 25,000 units.
Step 2: Divide the total units by the total volume to find the units per mL, which is (25,000 units ÷ 250 mL) = 100 units/mL.
Step 3: Divide the desired units per hour by the units per mL to find the mL/hr, which is (800 units/hr ÷ 100 units/mL) = 8 mL/hr.
