Practice problems for the ATI Dosage Calculation 4.0 Critical Care Medications module
High-alert infusions: heparin by units/hr and units/kg, and titrated drips in mcg/kg/min and mcg/min. Work out the concentration first, then convert per minute to per hour. If your program assigned this module and you want more than its fixed question set, these generators cover the same skills with unlimited problems and step-by-step grading.
What the module tests and what we drill
| Skill in the module | Our generator | Answer and rounding |
|---|---|---|
| Heparin rate, bolus and units/hr from a running rate | Heparin | mL/hr to the tenth, units whole |
| mcg/kg/min and mcg/min to mL/hr, and back | Critical care titration | mL/hr tenth, mcg/kg/min thousandth |
heparin sodium in 0.45% sodium chloride 25,000 units in 500 mL. Start the infusion at 12 units/kg/hr, per protocol. The patient weighs 90 kg. At what rate in mL/hr will you set the pump? Round to the nearest tenth.

Questions people ask
Does this replace the module?
No. Your program's module is the assignment. This is extra practice on the same skills, with new numbers every time and each step graded.
Why does heparin round to the tenth here?
Infusion pumps take tenths of a mL/hr and the course examples we follow use them. Your program may round to whole numbers; always round as the question states.
