Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of miligrams per hour the patient receiving solumetrol.

             Desired dose = 5.4 mg/kg/hr.

             Dose in hand = 125 mg.

               Quantity = 2 ml.

            Patient weight = 160 lb.

      Conversion of patient weight to kg for calculate dose required in mg per hour.

                                 1lb = 0.45 kg.

                  So

                     Patient weight = 160 * 0.45

                                             = 72 kg.

   Desired dose of a 72 kg patient = 5.4 * 72

                                                                = 388.8 mg / hr.

     Amount in milligrams per hour will the patient receive = 388.8 mg/hr.
