Answer #1

1.

Client weight = 220 lb(100kgs approximately)

Dopamine dosage= 3mcg/kg/minute

Total dosage for client in an hour= 3mcg×100kgs×60 minutes( 1 hour=60mts)

=18000mcg/hour

=18mg/hour( 1mg=1000mcg).

Dopamine available strength = 400mg in 250ml of D5W

=1.6mg in each mL

Client dosage = 18mg÷1.6mg/ml

=28.8mL/hour should be given. If rounded 29mL/hour

Nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver 29mL/hour to the client to receive 3mg/kg/minute.
