orders and are to perform an hourly assessment of intake and output. Upon placing the foley

catheter you receive a return of 150 mls of urine. The physician has also ordered a pitocin

drip to be administered to begin the induction of labor. The order is to administer the pitocin

at 2 milliunits per minute and increase by 2 milliunits every 30 minutes until regular,

moderate contractions are achieved. You mix 20 units of pitocin in 1000 milliliterss of LR.

How many milliliters per hour will you set the IV pump for to achieve the rate of 2 milliunits

per minute?
