The nurse is preparing a heparin drip for a client who weighs 184 lb. The available heparin is infusion 20,000 units in 250 ml 0.9% sodium chloride. The order is to deliver a bolus then initiate a drip at 25 units/kg/hr. What will the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Rationale: Step 1: Convert weight from pounds to kilograms: 184 lb ÷ 2.2 ≈ 83.64 kg Step 2: Calculate the dose in units/hr: 25 units/kg/hr × 83.64 kg ≈ 2091 units/hr Step 3: Determine the concentration of heparin: 20,000 units ÷ 250 mL = 80 units/mL Step 4: Calculate mL/hr to deliver the ordered units: 2091 units/hr ÷ 80 units/mL ≈ 26.14 mL/hr
