The patient is to receive heparin 1700 units/hr using an available solution of 25,000 units heparin in 1000 mL NS. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

A drug is ordered to be administered IV at the initial rate of 2 mU/min., and may increase by 4 mU/min. q 15 min. to a maximum of 18 mU/min. The IV strength is 10 mU/mL.
 
  Calculate the initial flow rate in mL/h and construct a titration table for this order.
