check

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the concentration of the medication

The concentration is \(100\) units in \(250\) mL. So the concentration \(C=\frac{100}{250}\) units/mL.

Step2: Use the formula \(Rate=\frac{Dose}{Concentration}\)

The ordered dose is \(28\) units/h. Substitute into the formula: \(Rate = 28\div\frac{100}{250}\).
