A client receives a prescription for heparin sodium 20,000 Units in 5% dextrose injection 500 mL to be infused at a rate of 880 units/hour. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)

The client receives a prescription for heparin sodium 20,000 Units in 5% dextrose injection 500 mL to be infused at a rate of 880 units/hour. The concentration of heparin in the IV solution is 40 units/mL (20,000 units / 500 mL). Since the healthcare provider prescribes 880 units/hour of heparin, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 22 mL/hour of the IV solution (880 units/hour / 40 units/mL).
