How many mcg/min will the client receive? b. How many mL/h will the client receive?

Answer 1

1)Flow rate = 200/2 = 100 ml/hour

Dosage rate = 600/2 = 300 mg/hour=300/60= 5 mg/min

2)Infusion rate= 2 mg/min

Time taken to infuse 50 mg= 50/2 = 25 minutes

So it will be finished by = 8:00 + 25 = 8:25

3)Infusion rate = 20 gtt/min

10 gtt= 1 ml

20 gtt= 2 ml

So rate = 2 ml/min

Concentration of drug= 40 mg in 250 ml

In 2 ml, 40/250 * 2 = 0.32 mg = 320 mcg

So rate = 320 mcg/min

4)Rate= 0.5 mcg/min

In one hour, 0.5 * 60 = 30 mcg/hour

50 mcg in 100 ml.

30 mcg in 100/50 * 30 = 60 ml

So rate = 60 ml/hour
