Concentration and titration of an infusion
Concentration (units/mL) = total units ÷ total volume in mL Rate (mL/h) = ordered dose per hour ÷ concentration Dose delivered (units/h) = rate in mL/h × concentration Example : 25 000 units in 500 mL gives 50 units/mL. At 18 mL/h the patient receives 900 units/h. Use this sheet in spaced repetition, pair it with a matching clinical scenario on NursEduc, and always compare values to the person's baseline before drawing conclusions. essential dose and rate calculations landmarks a nurse or licensed practical nurse in Quebec should keep in mind for clinical practice and for succeeding on the OIIQ or OIIAQ entry exam. Dose and rate calculations are staples of the OIIQ exam: an error costs one question, sometimes several.
