ANSWER.

19) Calculation of flow rate(ml/hr).

          Flow rate(ml/hr) = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

     Calculation of volume.

         Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q)

Here

      Desired dose(D) = 1 mg.

     Dose in hand(H) = 450 mg.

         Quantity(Q) = 250 ml

As per above formula for volume

         Volume(ml) = D/H * Q

                             = 1/450 * 250

                             = 0.0022 * 250

                             = 0.55 ml.

             Time = 1 min

   Convert ml/min to ml/hr by multiply with 60

                ml/hr = 0.55 * 60

                        B = 33 ml/hr.

20) Calculation of flow rate(ml/hr).

             Flow rate = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

     Calculation of volume

           Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q).

     Here

          Desired dose(D) = 50 mcg.

          Dose in hand(H) = 2.5 mg

   Convert mg to mcg

           1 mg = 1000 mcg.

      Dose in hand(H) = 2.5 * 1000

                                  = 2500 mcg.

             Quantity(Q) = 250 ml

As per above formula

      Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

                                                    = 50/2500 * 250

                                                    = 0.02 * 250

                                                    = 0.5 ml

                           Time(hr) = 1hr

         A) ml/hr = 0.5 ml/hr.

21) Calculation of flow rate(ml/hr).

              Flow rate = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

        Calculation of volume>

              Volume(ml) = Desired dose(d)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q).

     Here

          Ordered dose = 0.3 mcg/kg/min.

          Weight of the patient = 220 lb.

Convert lbs to kg

            1 lbs = 0.454 kg

     Weight of the patient = 220 * 0.454

                                       = 99.8 kg.

        Desired dose(D) for this patient = 0.3 * 99.8

                                                            = 29.9 mcg.

                        Dose in hand(H) = 50 mg.

     Convert 50 mg to mcg for calculation

                  1 mg = 1000 mcg.

           So

                 Dose in hand(H) = 50 * 1000

                                            = 50000 mcg.

                       Quantity(Q) = 250 ml.

   As per above formula for volume

                Volume(ml) = D/H * Q

                                   = 29.9/50000 * 250

                                   = 0.0006 * 250

                                   = 0.15 ml.

          Time = 1 min.

Convert ml/min to ml/hr by multiply with 60

            ml/hr = 0.15 * 60

                    C = 9 ml/hr.

22) Calculation of flow rate(ml/hr).

              Flow rate(ml/hr) = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

       Calculation of volume(ml)

             Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q)

   Here

         Ordered dose = 3 mcg/kg/min.

         Weight of the patient = 149.6 lb

Convert lb to kg for calculation

            1 lb = 0.454 kg

     Weight of the patient = 149.6 * 0.454

                                       = 67.9 kg.

     Desired dose(D) for this patient = 3 * 67.9

                                       = 203.7 mcg.

                 Dose in hand(H) = 500 mg.

     Convert mg to mcg for calculation

                   1 mg = 1000 mcg.

         So

               Dose in hand(H) = 500 * 1000

                                           = 500000 mcg.

                     Quantity(Q) = 250 ml.

As per above formula

         Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

                                                       = 203.7/500000 * 250

                                                       = 0.0004 * 250

                                                       = 0.1 ml.

                           Time = 1 min

Convert ml/min to ml/hr

                  ml/hr = 0.1 * 60

                          A = 6 ml/hr.

23) Calculation of flow rate.

              Flow rate = Volume(ml)/Time(hr).

        Calculation of volume.

               Volume(ml) = Desired dose(D)/Dose in hand(H) * Quantity(Q).

    Here

          Ordered dose = 60 mcg/kg/min.

           Weight of the patient = 66 kg

          Desired dose(D) = 60 * 44

                                      = 3960 mcg.

          Dose in hand(H) = 5g

Convert g to mcg for calculaion

                 1 g = 1000000

     So

         Dose in hand(H) = 5 * 1000000

                                     = 5000000 mcg.

                 Quantity(Q) = 500 ml.

As per above formula

          Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

                                                        = 3960/5000000 * 500

                                                        = 0.0008 * 500

                                                        = 0.4 ml

                              Time = 1 min.

   Convert ml/min to ml/hr by multiply with 60

                   ml/hr = 0.4 * 60

                        D    = 24 ml/hr.
