Okay, this question here says, during shift report, the nurse stated that the patient is receiving an oxytocin drip of 6 million units per minute of oxytocin.
00:13
Okay, the oxytocin concentration is 30 units in 1000 ml of lactated gringer's solution.
00:24
So here it says, the iv pump should be set for how many milliliters per hour.
00:30
So first we have to do some conversions here.
00:31
Remember that one unit is equal to 1000 milliliters.
00:43
So in this case, you can make a rule of three here, and you're going to get, you have 6 milliliters.
00:52
So how many units are you going to have? if you perform your rule of three, you're going to get that it is equal to 0 .006 units.
01:02
So basically, the nurse is infusing 6 units per minute.
01:08
Now let's convert to hours in this case.
01:10
Okay, so this is the same as units per minute, and you have to multiply by 60 minutes...
