An ICU patient who weighs 30 kg is receiving an IV of 1000 mL of D5NS every 12 hours. He develops a serious bacterial infection and is ordered vancomycin 200 mg/kg/day to be given every 8 hours IVPB in 100 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride. The IVPB is administered over 60 minutes. Vancomycin is available as 2 g in a 10 mL vial. What is the flow rate in drops per minute of the IVPB if the administration set delivers 10 drops/mL?
Homework Answers
flow rate = volume of the fluid to be administered in ml/hr x drop factor drops /ml divided by time in which the fluid is to be adminestered
( 100x10)/(8x60)=20.8333gtt/min
