ion of 200 mg in 250 mL D5W. What rate on the infusion pump will deliver the correct dose?
1 answer:
Answer:
35 ml/hr
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert lbs to kg
205 ÷ 2.2 = 93.18 = 93.2 kg
Calculate the minute rate
93.2 kg x 5 mcg/kg/min = 466 mcg/min
Calculate hourly rate
466 mcg/min x 60 mins/hr = 27,960 mcg/hr
Drug is expressed in mg, so convert mcg to mg
27,960 mcg = 27.96 mg
