Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribes oxytocin 2 milliunits/minute to induce labor for a client at 41-weeks gestation. The nurse initiates an infusion of Ringer's Lactate solution 1000 mL with oxytocin 10 units. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 12

Rationale:
To deliver 2 milliunits/minute from a solution of 10 units (10,000 milliunits) in 1000 mL, the concentration is 10 milliunits/mL. Thus, 2 milliunits/minute requires 0.2 mL/minute, which is 0.2 x 60 = 12 mL/hour.
