Question 1 of 5
A patient in active labor is prescribed oxytocin 12 milliunits/min intravenously (IV). The IV bag contains 5 units of oxytocin in 500 mL of lactated Ringer's solution. How many mL/hour should the nurse set the infusion pump to? (Enter numerical value only)
Correct Answer: 0.72
Rationale: The concentration is 5 units/500 mL = 0.01 units/mL. Convert 12 milliunits/min to 0.72 units/hour (12/1000 * 60). Infusion rate is 0.72/0.01 = 72 mL/hour.
