1. The upper end point of the Pitocin protocol at the medical center is 20 mu / min with an external tocometer. The standard mixture is Pitocin 30 units in 500 ml Lactated Ringers. Your client is being induced for a LGA baby. What is the maximum ml / hour that the Pitocin pump should be set to?
Homework Answers
1. The maximum allowed dose is 20 milliunits (mu)/min =0.020 units
The 500 ml RL contains 30 units.

ml/minute
