You are caring for a client in the emergency department who is experiencing chest pain. You are preparing to initiate nitroglycerin by continuous IV infusion.
What do you need to monitor when administrating nitroglycerin? Do the calculation.
You are to start the infusion at 5 mcg/min and increase the dose by 5 mcg every 5 min.
You have on hand nitroglycerin 25 mg in D5W 250 mL and must calculate how many mL/hr to give.
Calculate the answer and explain your work.
Homework Answers
- while administring nitroglycerin , always check the patient blood pressure and pulse. because blood pressure can drop suddenly after the sinlge dose itself. Monitroing of vital signs is necsaary to monitor the hemodynamic effects of nitroglycerin.
- doctor's order =5 mcg/min
- stock in hand = 25mg in 250 ml
- first convert mcg/min tomg/hour = 5/1000*60=0.3mg/hr
- dosage = doctors order * volume/ stock in hand = 0.3*250/25=3ml/hr.
