Heparin 5000units in 50mLs has been prescribed for your patient to run at 500units/hr with a 500unit bolus. 

  1. Calculate how much the bolus delivery will be in mLs? 

    2. Calculate how much the infusion will run at in mls/hr

i got these answers, is this correct? 

  1. Calculate how much the bolus delivery will be in mLs?

500             x              50           25 000                                                                                                                                                                   -----                                               =   ----------- =  5mls

5000                                    1             5000

  1. Calculate how much the infusion will run at in mls/hr

5mls

------  =  5mls/hr
