A nurse is preparing a heparin infusion for a client who was hospitalized with deep-vein thrombosis. The order reads: 25,000 units of heparin in 250 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride to infuse at 800 units/hr. At what rate should the nurse set the infusion pump? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero
"8 mL/hr" (800/25,000)x250 mL STEP 1: What is the unit of measurement the nurse should calculate? mL/hr STEP 2: What is the dose the nurse should administer? Dose to administer = Desired 800 units/hr STEP 3: What is the dose available? Dose available = Have 25,000 units STEP 4: Should the nurse convert the units of measurement? No STEP 5: What is the quantity of the dose available? 250 mL STEP 6: Set up an equation and solve for X. Desired x Quantity/Have = X mL 800 units x 250 mL/25,000 units = X mL X = 8 mL / hr

for suction of a tracheostomy 120-150
The nurse should select a suction catheter that is half the size of the lumen to prevent hypoxemia and trauma to the mucosa. --suction pressure to approximately 120 mm Hg and no higher than 150 mm Hg --100% oxygen before suctioning to prevent hypoxemia. --intermittent, while removing catheter
