An order is given to administer methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory drug, by IV at a rate of 36 mg every 30. min . The IV b
ag contains 125 mg of methylprednisolone in every 2.0 mL . What should the flow rate be in milliliters per minute (mL/min)?
1 answer:
Answer:
0.0192 mL per min.
Explanation:
IV rate = 36 mg per 30 min.
IV concentration = 125 mg per 2.0 mL
36 mg per 30 min. IV rate = 36/30 = 1.2 mg per min
If 125 mg methylprednisolone is present in 2.0 mL of the IV nag, how many mL would contain 1.2 mg?
= 2x1.2/125
= 0.0192 mL
<em>Therefore, the flow rate of the IV must be </em><em>0.0192 mL per min</em><em>. in order to be able to deliver 36 mg per 30 min. </em>
