    We are happy to help but there is not enoud information here to help you and insulin isn't usually ordered by weight.

    While we're waiting for the rest of the information, why don't you tell us the rate at which you'd set the pump (mL/hr) in order to deliver 5 units per hour?

    If the pump tubing had a drip factor of 10, how many drops per minute would you count in the drip chamber?

    I'm on this question right now. There isn't enough information to complete it. Did you ever get the answer?

    This question is based on you remembering that an initial bolus of insulin is given to the patient at a rate of 0.1units/kg/hr.

    The answer, rounded to the nearest whole number, is 10 ml/hr.

    I had to take out my IV medication book for this answer.
