An infusion pump is infsing heparin at a rate of 11.3 ml/hr. the infusion bag hanging has 25,000 units of heparin in 500 ml solution. calculate the flow rate (units/hr) for these heparin infusions. round the answer to the nearest whole number.

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

                                                                                    = 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.
