i think it does. i will check!!!! thanks again

I am glad I didnt do the ADN route, not because of education differences but because I know I want to go on with my education afterwards!

So help again. LOL :) I am working on a problem now that is same concept. * Pt is getting Heparin drip at 7ml/hr. The concentration is 25,000u in 250mL of D5W. The doc changes the order to increase the drip to 500units/hr. At what rate would you set the pump at in mL/hr? so do I set it up differently? I know the answer is 12mL.hr but I dont get how the come to this answer in the book. THANKS AGAIN PPL. Trying to learn this stuff before Tuesday for test.

Okay so I just got it... you times it by 7. Sorry!!!! :)

Okay So I am trying to work out this problem and show my work and I am not sure how you came up with 175,000 u. Thank you so much for your help again. I am really struggling with this units stuff and we werent taught it in school. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Thank you... I was confusing myself trying to set it up!!!!! MUCH HELP!

THANK YOU!!!!

I understand the hardship that the situation your in. I know at many places in my area have programs to help with assistance of vost during school if you sign a contract. For example, the place I go to school is a hosptil and will give students 5000 per year you agree to work for them after graduation. Or of forth... I would contact places HR department and ask them. I was suprised at the resources that are out there for nursing students. As well.... schlorahips are very helpful. Anything extra from tution and all gets kicked back to you at midterm and I pay all my bills ahead with that money. As well... loans can be healpful. Some employeers will pay your loans off after you graduation to get you to sign on with them. If you have any other questions, I'd love to help ya. :) Missy

So I understand most IV math help and have pracitced it on my homework but after looking futher ahead there are other problems that i am getting hung up on. They are the same concept but different.... A client is to receive Heparin 25,000 u in 500mL of D5W at 7mL/hr. How many units per hour will the pt receive? *** So my papers say the answers 350u/hr, but I dont know how to going about the set up when it says 7mL/hr? ANY HELP PLEASE, THANKS!!!!

Just remember it is a new year and maybe a new teacher.... keep your head high and hang in there!!!!! We have all been there and still there with ya!!!! :)

Unit clerk or Registration

Hello. For the most part I understand IV math (gtt/min, ml/he etc), but I am having a hard time with unit type questions. I have looked throughout medspub and several websites that I normally use. All the help I have found up to this point is that 1mL = 100 units, but I still cant figure out how to solve these type of problems. Ordered: Heparin 25,000u/500mL to run at 1200u/hr How many ml/hr will I start pump at? **** I don't understand how the answer 24mL/hr. Is there a formula for these problems, I am sorry but I am so confused. Any help is very appreciated. Thank you. Missy
