The physician ordered a heparin drip for a patient with atrial fibrillation to infuse at 1,000 units per hour. The drip
comes as 25,000 units in 1,500 mL solution. Calculate the mL received in the first hour. Then calculate the flow rate
per minute if the tubing is 25 gtts/cc.

Answer:

25 drops per minute

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume in 1000 units.

(1500)(1000)/25000 = 60mL (first hour)

Second we need to find the flow rate.

(25)(60)/60 = 25dr/min

Best of Luck!
