Answer - You will set the pump at 2.1 ml per minute.

2. Order dose Tacrolimus 150 mg IV over 1 hour.

Available quantity 150mg but you need to mix each 50mg in 100 ml of D5W.

Then you need to mix 150mg of the drug in 300 ml of D5W

So now you have to administer 300 ml over 1 hour(60 minutes).

300ml = 60min = 5ml/min

You will set the pump at 5 ml per minute.

Avalibale aspirin 81mg chewable aspirin.

On the first day, the patient needs 324 mg of aspirin.

324mg + 81mg tablet = 4tablets

So, in the first-day patient need 4 tablets

Then the patent needs 81mg per day daily.

That means 1 tablet per day from 2nd day to 5th-day patient needs a total of 4 tablets.

So the total tablet will be 8 tablets.

Answer - 8 tablets patient needs in 5 days.

4. Rocephin 1 gram to infuse over 30 minutes.
