Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribes heparin 1,400 units/hour intravenously (IV). The IV bag contains heparin 20,000 units in 250 mL dextrose 5% in water. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver?(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 17

Rationale: The correct answer is 17 mL/hour.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL/hour) = (units/hour) x (mL per unit). Substituting the given values, we get: (mL/hour) = (1,400) x (250 / 20,000). Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = (1,400) x (0.0125). (mL/hour) = 17.5. (rounded mL/hour) = 17.
Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 17 mL/hour of heparin in dextrose 5% in water.
