Pharmacologic Calculations When Ms. Jackson arrives on the unit, the nurse notes that her IV is wide open. Review of Ms. Jackson's postoperative prescriptions indicates that 0.996 Normal Saline is to infuse at 75 ml/hour, alternating with Lactated Ringer's solution at 75 ml/hour. An infusion pump is not immediately available, so the nurse notes that the Infusion tubing has a drop factor of 15 drops/mL and resets the IV. 6. At what rate in drops./min, should the IV infuse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the whole number.) 13 Incorrect Incorrect. Please recalculate While the nurse begins to assess the client, another nurse finds an infusion pump and prepares a prescribed now dose of an intravenous antibiotic. The prescription is for 2 grams of cefazolin (Aceh), which arrives from the pharmacy diluted in 50 mL of normal saline and is to be administered over 30 minutes 17. At whatrate in muhr, should the infusion pump best? Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the whole number) Incorrect 200

Answer 1

Ans - 1 ordered volume of dose - 75 milhr. drop factor= 15 doops / min flow rate= ? flow rate = volume X Drop factor Time we have to find flow rate in ml/min. . IV flow rate = 75 X 15 (as ihr = 60 min. 60 = 18.75 E 19 ml/min Ans - 2 is volume of drug = 50 ml Time= 30 min = 30 = 0.5hr (as 1 ho=60min IV flow rate = volume of drug in mi Time in ho 0.5 IV flow rate = 100 mi/hr.
