1. A patient's orders read 0.012 in 200.0 mL of 5% D/W IV (5 percent dextrose in water solution, intravenously). 100 mg of the drug is dissolved in the 200.0 mL of 5% D/W solution. The patient has a body mass of 55 kg. How many mL/hour must the IV pump be set to deliver the prescribed amount? 2. A pediatric patient needs to receive heparin following surgery. The physician's orders call for . The heparin preparation comes as 50.0 heparin units/mL. How many milliliters of heparin drug needs to be added to a 65 lb patient's IV over a period of 3.0 hours?

1. The flow rate for the IV pump will be calculated by considering the total drug dosage for the patient to be infused in 1 minute.
2. The total volume of heparin solution to be infused in 3 hours will be calculated by considering the volume of heparin solution equivalent to 1 unit of heparin.
