,A client with 11.3
cardiogenic
shock weighs First, convert pounds to kg, 220 lb :
220 lb and is X = 2.2 lb : 1 kg = 100 kg. Next,
receiving calculate the dosage per minute, 3
dopamine at the mcg/kg/min x 100 kg = 300 mcg/min.
rate of 3 Convert mcg/min to mcg/hour, 300
mcg/kg/minute. mcg/min x 60 min=18,000 mcg/hour.
The solution Convert mcg/hr to mg/hour, 18,000
strength mcg/hr = 18.0 mg/hour. Calculate the
available is rate, 400 mg : 250 ml = 18 mg : X ml
dopamine 400 400X = 4500 X = 11.25 = 11.3 ml. So, 18
mg in 250 ml of mg/11.3 ml should be infused at 11.3
D5W. The nurse ml/hour.
should set the
infusion pump to
deliver how
many ml/hour?
(Enter numeric
value only. If
rounding is
required, round
to the nearest
tenth.)
,A client with 3.5
hypertension
who weighs 72.4 Calculate the mg/hour infusing, 50
kg is receiving mg : 250 ml = X : 75 ml 250X = 3750
an infusion of and X = 15 mg/hour. Next, convert
nitroprusside mg/hr to mcg/hour, 15 mg/hour = 1
(Nipride) 50 mg mg / 1000 mcg = 15,000 mcg/hour,
in D5W 250 ml at then divide by 60 min = 250
75 ml/hour. How mcg/minute. Lastly, 250 mcg/72.4
many kg/min = 3.45 = 3.5 mcg/kg/minute.
mcg/kg/minute
is the client
receiving? (Enter
numeric value
only. If rounding
is required,
round to the
nearest tenth.)
, A client who 1.9
weighs 70 kg is
receiving a To change ml/hour to
dopamine mcg/kg/minute, use the formula:
solution of 800 desired rate (5 ml/hour) / volume
mg/500 ml available (500 ml) x dose available
normal saline at (800 mg) = 8 mg/hour. Next, convert
5 ml/hour. How milligrams/hour to mcg/kg/minute:
many mg (8) x 1000 / kg (70) / 60 minutes =
mcg/kg/minute 1.904 = 1.9 mcg/kg/minute.
