Explanation
•The solution is (Desired dose x Volume on hand) divided by concentration. The desired dose is 5u/hr insulin, the volume on hand is 250ml saline, and the concentration is 100 units of insuklin.
• The desired dose is 5u/hr insulin, the volume on hand is 250ml saline, and the concentration is 100 units of insulin.
•5u x 250 ml = 1250
•1250/100 = 12.5
