Explanation / Answer

1. Question1 : increase heparin by 200 units per hour After givimg bolus of 500 units of heprin.

Question 2: 120 ml / hour. Because 250 ml of D5W has 2500units of heparin, 1 ml of D5W will have 10units of heaprin and to increase heparin by 200 units/hour. The desired dose will become 1200units/hour. Therefore the rate should be 120ml/hour.

2. Question1: increase heparin by 100 units/ hour.

Question2: at 0600 we were giving heparin at a rate of 1200units/ hour. Increasing further to add 100 more units per hour the flow rate would be 130ml Per hour because each ml contains 10 units of heparin.
