16. 15. The patient needs 30U of insulin, but the available stock is 80U. A. how much of the 80U will be given? 30U : 80U = x : 16 minims 80U (x) = 480U(minims) x = 6 minims B. If the stock is 100U, how much should be given to meet the patient’s needs? 30U : 100U = x : 16 minims 100U (x) = 480U (minims) x = 4.8 minims or 5 minims
