At 0630 the nurse calls to report to the healthcare provider, who prescribes the following: admit to labor and delivery, bedrest with bathroom privileges (BRP), IV D5LR at 125 ml/hr, oxytocin (Pitocin) 2 mu/min, CBC with platelets, clotting studies, liver enzymes, chemistry panel, 24-hour urine collection for protein and uric acid, ice chips only by mouth, nonstress test, hourly vital signs, and DTRs.
5.
After the nurse establishes IV placement, she collects a bag of D5LR for the oxytocin (Pitocin), which is available in 20 units in 1000 cc D5LR. The order from the health care provider is oxytocin (Pitocin) 2 mu/min to augment labor. Calculate the following drip rate for the oxytocin (Pitocin). (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the whole number.)

I would start by converting the units to mu.20 u is 20 000 mu.In 1000ml bag that works out to 20mu/ml. 2mu/min would be 0.1ml/min or 6 mls/hour.
