Calculation
Physician order says "Infuse Regular Insulin at 8 units/hr". You're supplied with an IV bag of the prescribed medication that reads "125 units per 250 ml". What will you set the infusion pump at (mL/hr) so your patient will receive 8 units/hr?
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1: Determine the concentration of the IV bag 125 units ÷ 250 mL = 0.5 units/mL Step 2: Use the formula to calculate mL/hr mL/hr = Desired units ÷ Concentration mL/hr = 8 ÷ 0.5 = 16 mL/hr Final Answer: 16 mL/hr
