A client on a heparin drip has a bag of heparin units, 25,000 units, in 250 mL of IV solution infusing at 16 mL per hour. Calculate the amount of heparin the client is receiving in units per hour.
Added by Julian J.
Step 1
First, we need to find out how many units of heparin are in each milliliter (mL) of the IV solution. To do this, we divide the total number of units (25,000) by the total volume of the IV solution (250 mL): 25,000 units ÷ 250 mL = 100 units/mL Show more…
