• What is the Simple Concentration of the Infusion Bag______________________

• What is the total amount of drug\minute you are ordered to give________________

• What is the gtt to run the infusion at the desired rate_________________

• What is the pump setting for this infusion.___________________

• You run the infusion for 12minutes. How much medicine did the patient get_________________

Answer 1

ordered dose = 20 mcg/kg/min - 20x8.001 (as a meg,0.ooling) = 0.02 mg / kg / min weight of pt = 280 16° = 104. 326 kg las 1 lbs =0.453592 kq) dose to be given : 25 mg Drop factor = 10 gtt 0 patients weight in kg - 104.326 kg ☺ Desired nose = wt x ordered dose - 1043X 0.02 - 2.08 652 mg If 25 mg in 10ml Then 2.086 mg in xml 25x2 = 10 x 2.086 x= 20.86 + 25 = 0.83 4 4 x 1 ml approx

O simple concentration of e amount supplied doug Volume supplica dong = 25 10 o = 2.5 mg/ml simple concentration - 15' 0.3 mg/m). of infusion Bag 50 5 factor. Drug/ min = volume x drop (Flow rate) Time - 1 x 10 GO 0.166 ml/min factor Desired rate=02.0865 mg/min Flow rate : volume & Time t'drop 2.086 = 1 60X? 2-086 -0.0166 xx x =125.66 1-126 drops

6 pump setting =? Flow rate = 1 x 126 - 60 flow rate of = 2.1 mil min pump. Flow rate = volume Time 2.1 = x @ 12 12x2 • 1 = x x=25.2 ml
