oxytocin (Pitocin) infusion via a pump that is programmed to deliver 30
ml/hour. The available solution is Ringer's Lactated 1,000 ml with Pitocin
20 units. How many milliunits/minute is the client receiving? (Enter
numeric value only, whole number.)
Rationale
Convert units to milliunits, 20 units x 1,000 = 20,000
milliunits. Using D/H x Q = 30 ml/hour:
X/20,000 milliunits x 1,000 ml = 30 ml/hour (60 minutes).
X/20 = 30ml/60 minutes, reduce to: X/2 = 1/2, and 2X = 20, so X = 10 milliunits/minute
