Answer:
The client will receive 2086.5 units per hour.
Explanation:
This question can be solved by rules of three:
Order
20,000 units heparin IV in 250 mL to infuse at 25 units/kg/hr.
So the number of units per hour that the client will receive is 25 multiplied by his weight, in kilograms.
Client weighs 184 lb.
We have to make the conversion of lb to kg.
Each lb is 0.4536 kg.
So the client weight 184*0.4536 = 83.46kg.
How many units per hour will the client receive?
83.46*25 = 2086.5.
The client will receive 2086.5 units per hour.
