Explanation / Answer

According to the Chegg guidelines I'll answer the first question when more than one question is posted.

14) 8000 units will be provided to the patient in the 8 hour shift.

If 500 ml contain 25000 units of heparin then the 20 ml would contain 1000 units. And if the infusion rate is 20ml/hour that is 1000 unit/hour is provided to the patient and if the shift is of 8 hour then the total units would be 1000*8=8000 units.
