Calculate the hourly heparin dosage in mL/hour.
***You are not calculating the flow rate (which is 25 mL/h) you are calculating how many mL of heparin are being administered every hour.
- Order: Heparin 25,000 units in 250 mL D5W to infuse at 11 mL/h.
Calculate the hourly heparin dosage in units/hour
- Order: Heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL of D5W to infuse at 15 mL/h. Calculate the hourly heparin dosage in units/hour.
- Order: 1 L of 0.9% NS with 40,000 units of heparin over 24 hours. Calculate the rate in mL/h.
- Order: 1 L of 0.9% NS with 40,000 units of heparin over 24 hours. Calculate the units/h.

How many tablets will the patient receive every 24 hours?
- The patient must receive 1,500,000 units of penicillin IM. The vial contains 20,000,000 units (in powered form). The directions are as follows: add 38.7 mL to vial; 1 mL=500,00 units. How many milliliters will equal 1,500,000 units?
- A client is receiving Isuprel at 30 mL/h. The solution available is 2 mg of Isuprel in 250 mL D5W. Calculate the mg/h that the client is receiving. Your answer will be to the hundredths place
- A client is receiving Isuprel at 30 mL/h. The solution available is 2 mg of Isuprel in 250 mL D5W.
Calculate the mcg/h the client is receiving.
***This is the exact same problem as #16-you calculated mg/h in 16, now convert to mcg/h
- For a child, the recommended dosage of IV vancomycin is 40 mg/kg/day. Vancomycin 200 mg IV QID is ordered for a child weighing 38 lb.
What is the safe dosage for this child in 24 hours?
- For a child, the recommended dosage of IV vancomycin is 40 mg/kg/day. Vancomycin 200 mg IV QID is ordered for a child weighing 38 lb.
