Give Rate Units

Components: <identifier (ST)> ^ <text (ST)> ^ <name of coding system (ST)> ^ <alternate identifier (ST)> ^ <alternate text (ST)> ^ <name of alternate coding system (ST)>

Definition: This field contains the units for Give Rate Amount. May be composite. The ratio of the Give Rate Amount and Give Rate Units fields define the actual rate of administration. Thus, if Give Rate Amount = 100 and Give Rate Units = ml/hr, the requested rate of administration is 100 ml/hr. (See ISO+ Figure 7-13 in Chapter 7 for possible compound units codes.)
