IV Question

I have an IV question for homework and I don't know how to find the answer. Here's the question:

Patient is getting Pitocin 2milliunits/min IV. It is supplied to the patient by infusion pump in a solution of 500mg in 500mL D5W. What is the pump setting?

Can anyone explain how to find the answer?:banghead:

Thanks. I think I have it, I just have to cut the formula in half.

pitocin does not come in "mg's". only in "units". your problem has typos.
