Your patient is receiving Heparin via a continuous IV infusion at a rate of 1600 units per hour.

What rate should the IV pump be set at to deliver this ordered amount of Heparin? mLs/hr.
Explanation
Answer and explanation
Step 1 is to calculate the total units of Heparin in 1 mL of the solution. This is done by dividing the total units of Heparin in the bag (40,000 units) by the total volume of the bag (500 mL). So, 40,000 units ÷ 500 mL = 80 units/mL. Step 2 is to calculate the rate at which the IV pump should be set. This is done by dividing the ordered amount of Heparin per hour (1600 units) by the units of Heparin per mL (80 units/mL). So, 1600 units/hr ÷ 80 units/mL = 20 mL/hr.
So, the correct answer is 20 mL/hr.
