1. Your new pharmacy technician is unsure of calculating insulin dispense quantities. You need to help her calculate the following:
Apridra Solostar
Dispense: One month supply
Directions: Inject three times daily before meals per sliding scale as directed
How many units of insulin will the patient need? Per day? Per month?
How many pens will the patient need per month?
How many Aprida pens will you dispense?
2. The ED physician requests that you compound an insulin drip-Regular insulin by continuous IV infusion at 20 units/hr. The solution is NS 250ml with 100 units of regular insulin. What rate on the infusion pump will deliver the correct dose? (Show calculations)
Homework Answers
1. Medication - Apridra Solostar
Dispense: One month supply
Directions: Inject three times daily before meals per sliding scale as directed

Number of Aprida pens required by the patient in a month is 30
2. Ordered dose of Regular insulin is 20units /hour by infusion
Available units of regular insulin is 100units in 250ml NS
So, 20 units of insulin in - 250/100 × 20
= 50 ml / hr
