A client is admitted with a diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis. An insulin drip is initiated with 50 units of insulin in 100 ml of normal saline solution. The I. V. is being infused via an infusion pump, and the pump is currently set at 10 ml/hr. How many units of insulin each hour is this client receiving

5 units

Explanation:

We are told in the question that the insulin drip given to the patient is:

50 units of insulin = 100 ml of normal saline solution

The infusion pump is set at :

10 ml in = 1 hour

The number of units of insulin that the patients receives each hour is calculated as:

100 ml of normal saline solution = 50 units of insulin

10 ml = X units of insulin

Cross Multiply

100ml × X = 50 units × 10 ml

X = 50 units × 10ml / 100ml

X = 5 units.

Hence 10 ml of normal saline solution contains 5 units of insulin.

Therefore, the number of units of insulin that the patients receives each hour is 5 UNITS
