,A client with 11.3
cardiogenic shock
weighs 220 lb and First, convert pounds to kg, 220 lb : X =
is receiving 2.2 lb : 1 kg = 100 kg. Next, calculate the
dopamine at the dosage per minute, 3 mcg/kg/min x 100
rate of 3 kg = 300 mcg/min. Convert mcg/min to
mcg/kg/minute. mcg/hour, 300 mcg/min x 60
The solution min=18,000 mcg/hour. Convert mcg/hr
strength available to mg/hour, 18,000 mcg/hr = 18.0
is dopamine 400 mg/hour. Calculate the rate, 400 mg :
mg in 250 ml of 250 ml = 18 mg : X ml 400X = 4500 X =
D5W. The nurse 11.25 = 11.3 ml. So, 18 mg/11.3 ml should
should set the be infused at 11.3 ml/hour.

,A client with 3.5
hypertension who
weighs 72.4 kg is Calculate the mg/hour infusing, 50 mg :
receiving an 250 ml = X : 75 ml 250X = 3750 and X = 15
infusion of mg/hour. Next, convert mg/hr to
nitroprusside mcg/hour, 15 mg/hour = 1 mg / 1000
(Nipride) 50 mg in mcg = 15,000 mcg/hour, then divide by
D5W 250 ml at 75 60 min = 250 mcg/minute. Lastly, 250
ml/hour. How mcg/72.4 kg/min = 3.45 = 3.5
many mcg/kg/minute.

dopamine solution use the formula: desired rate (5
of 800 mg/500 ml ml/hour) / volume available (500 ml) x
normal saline at 5 dose available (800 mg) = 8 mg/hour.
