Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer regular insulin 0.1 unit/kg/hr via continuous IV infusion to a client who weighs 70 kg. Available is regular insulin 100 units in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1 is (0.1 unit/kg/hr × 70 kg) = 7 units/hr Step 2 is (7 units/hr ÷ 100 units) × 100 mL = 7 mL/hr. Final answer: 7 mL/hr.
