Answer:
565 units/hour
Step-by-step explanation:
As given in question,
rate of infusion of pump = 11.3 mL/hr
amount of heparin infusion bag contains = 25,000 units
amount of solution in infusion bag = 500 mL
Since, 500 mL of solution contains 25000 units of heparin
[tex]\textrm{So, 1 mL of solution will contain heparin of amount}=\dfrac{25000}{500}units[/tex]
= 50 units
Since, 11.3 mL of solution can flow in 1 hour
So, the heparin contains in 11.3 mL of solution = 11.3 x 50
= 565 units
As, 565 units of heparin can flow in 1 hour so the rate of flow of heparin will be 565 units/hour.
