Question

The recommended dose of aminophylline for children is 1.0 mg/kg/hr. 15 mL of a 30 mg/mL sltn is added to a 150 mL bottle of D5W. At what rate mL/hr should the injection be delivered to 35 lb child

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is "6.68 $\frac{ml} {hr}$".

Explanation:

It's going to be 18.18 kg to turn body mass to kg.  

Size 1mg / kg / hr, therefore = 1 x 18.18

                                               = 18.18 kg / hr  

now we adding 30 mg / ml of dextrose = 30 x 15

                                                                 $=\frac{450mg}{15 ml +150 ml}$

of dextrose, from 15 ml to 150 ml;  

Therefore, now 450 mg in 165m:    

$= \frac{ 450}{165}\\ \\=2.72 \frac{mg} {ml}$  

now divide the   18.18 by 2.72:

$=\frac{18.18}{2.72}$

= 6.68 $\frac{ml} {hr}$
