A physician orders heparin 12,500 units in 500 NS for a patient weighing 132 lbs. Give a bolus of 80 units per kg (heparin prepared as 10,000 units per ml) followed by an infusion of 20 units/kg/hour. The nurse should give _____ml as a bolus and set the pump at _____________ml/hour.

Administer 500 ml of 5% solution of normal serum albumin over 30 minutes. The drop factor is 10 gtt per ml. You would administer __________ gtt per min?

Answer 1

Ordered dose - 1000 ml start time = 7:30 Recommended dose : loo ml/ha It loom) in 1 hour Then 1000ml in x hours e 100xx = 1x 1000 1000 loo x = 10 hours i. Infusion will run for to hours. In 12 hours format infusion will end up at 5:30pm. (7:30 am is considered) ordered dose = 125000 units. of Heparin Recommended dose - 16 units /kg/hy. Weight = 124 lbs. = 56.2455 kg (as 1lbs= 0.453 kg) 256 kg (approximately) Patients required dose - 16 X57 = 896 units & If 12 500 units in 250 ml D5W Then 896 units in xml DsW

12500 X X = 250 X 896 x = 250 X 896 12500 x= 17.92 ml z 18 mi Rate = volume / Time = 18 / 1 Rate : 18m1 /hour will be set by the nurse. 3 ordered dose = 12500 units weight = 132 lbs = 59.874 kg = 60kg approx. Recommended = 80 units 1kg Bolus dose Pt's Dose bolus 80x60 = 4800 units if 10000 units in 1 m) Then 48000 units in ami i 10000 x x = 4800 X 1 x=48000 & 10000 = 0.48 ml Bolas

If infusion is 20 units / kg / hour Pt's dose = 20480 = 1600 units IF 12.500 units in 500 ml 1600 units in xml 12500 X X = 500 x 1600 2 = 500 x 1600 12500 = 64 m) infusion rate & volume / Time = 64 m 1/1 =64 ml/hour. infusion pump I rate (1 ordered dose=500 ml Time = 30 min. Drop factor= 10 Rate volume a drop factor Time hrs a 500 m x 10 = 520 x 10 0.5hr 30 = 166.66. = 167 gt 1 min
