Answer #1

Weight of the patient; 146 lb = 66.2245 kg

Order; 34 units/kg/ day

= 34 x 66.2245

= 2251.633 units

Time in 6 hours

Available 500 units/ 50 ml

= 10 units/ml

Drop rate; 60gtts/ml

Volume to be administered; 2251.633/10

= 225.163 ml

  • Formula for gtt/min:

mL/hr X drop factor =   gtt/min                               

60 (minutes)

225.163 ml/6 hrs

= 37.527/hr x 60gtts/ml/60 (minutes)

= 37.527 gtt/min

= 37.5 gtt/min
