Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Administer heparin 1000 units per hour IV. The pharmacy supplies the heparin infusion as 25.000 units in 500 mL DSW. What will the IV pump be set to? (Include unit of measure with answer).
Correct Answer: 20
Rationale: The correct answer is 20 mL/hour.
To calculate, divide the total units by the desired rate: 25,000 units / 1000 units per hour = 25 hours. Next, divide the total volume by the total time in hours: 500 mL / 25 hours = 20 mL/hour. This ensures the patient receives the correct dosage over the specified time. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation method or provide the accurate infusion rate.
