A client is receiving a heparin infusion at 1300 units/hr from a 25,000 unit bag in 500 mL of D5W. How many mL should be recorded that the client received in eight hours?

To determine the volume of the heparin infusion the client received in eight hours, first, identify the rate of the infusion. The client is receiving 1300 units of heparin per hour from a bag that contains a total of 25,000 units in 500 mL of D5W.

To find out how many mL contain 1 unit of heparin, divide the total volume of the bag (500 mL) by the total units (25,000 units):

500 mL / 25,000 units = 0.02 mL/unit.

Next, calculate how many mL the client receives while getting 1300 units per hour:

1300 units/hour * 0.02 mL/unit = 26 mL/hour.

Now, multiply the hourly volume by the number of hours the infusion runs:

26 mL/hour * 8 hours = 208 mL.

This calculation shows that the client receives 208 mL of the heparin infusion in eight hours, making this the correct choice.
