You have an order for vasopressin 18 units/hr iv infusion. you have available vasopressin 200 units in 5000 ml d5w. calculate the drip rate in ml/hr.

450 mL/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Order for vasopressin = 18 units/hour

Available vasopressin = 200 units in 5000 mL

Now,

Volume of vasopressin per unit =  

or

Volume of vasopressin per unit =  

or

Volume of vasopressin per unit = 25 mL/unit

Thus,

Drip rate in mL/hr  

= volume of vasopressin per unit × order for vassopressin

or

Drip rate in mL/hr  = 25 × 18 = 450 mL/hr
