124 gtt/min drops per minute should the nurse regulate the infusion . Because Sodium nitroprusside (nipride) 50 mg is mixed in d5w 250 ml.

182/2.2 Equals 82.73 kg when converting from lbs to kg. For this client, determine the dosage: 413.65 mcg/min = 5 mcg x 82.73. Calculate how much mcg Sodium nitroprusside  are present in 1 ml: 200 mcg per ml is 250/50,000 mcg.

The customer is to receive 2.07ml per minute (413.65 mcg/min x 200 mcg/ml), or 413.65 mcg/min x 200 mcg/ml. When the drip factor is 60 gtt/ml, the equation is 60 2.07 = 124.28 gtt/min OR, when utilising dimensional analysis, the equation is 60 gtt/ml X 250 ml/50 mg X 1 mg/1,000 mcg X 5 mcg/kg/min X 1 kg/2.2 pounds X 182 lbs.
