Order: Heparin 20,000 units in 1000 mL 0.9% NaCl stat., infuse at 25 mL/h. Calculate the units per hour and determine if the dose is within the normal daily range (20,000–40,000 units in 24 h)
1. 25,000 units/h, and the dose is within the normal daily range
2. 500,000 units/h, and the dose is higher than the normal daily range
3. 500 units/h, and the dose is lower than the normal daily range
4. 0.8 units/h, and the dose is lower than the normal daily range
3
Global Rationale: 25 mL/h × 20,000 units/1000 mL = 500 units/h.
