The diabetic patient is put on an insulin drip to manage his blood glucose levelsHe is currently receiving 6 unitshour Pharmacy sends Humulin R 200 units in 500 ml Normal Saline
The patient is receiving 6 units per hour, so we need to calculate how many milliliters of the insulin solution the patient will receive per hour.
First, we need to determine the concentration of the insulin in the solution:
200 units in 500 ml = 0.4 units per ml
Now, we can calculate the amount of solution the patient will receive per hour:
6 units per hour / 0.4 units per ml = 15 ml per hour
Therefore, the patient will receive 15 ml of the insulin solution per hour to manage his blood glucose levels on the insulin drip.
