The client weighs 180 pounds. What is the dosage per min?

Answer 1

4. Answer ;
In the given case, the ordered dose is 2 unit per hour
Available dose is 5 unit per 100 ml.
So 1 unit is present in 20 ml.
In order to give 2 unit, it ingusion rate would be 40 ml per hour.

So the infusion rate of insulin would be 40 ml / hr

5. Answer ;

Here the ordered dose is 15 ml / hr
Available amount is 400 mg in 100 cc, thta is 400 mg in 100 ml
So 1 ml contain 4 mg
therefore in the 15 ml, the total concentration = 15 x 4
= 60

Hence the concentration present in the given drug is 60 mg / hr , which can also be written as 1000 mcg / min

6. Answer ;

The ordered dose is 8mg/ kg / min
Avialble dose is 200 mg in 500 ml
The client weight is 180 pound, that is 81.6 kg

Therefore the client need to recieve = 8 x 81. 6
= 652. 8 mg
that is 653 mg.

Therefore the actual dosage is 653 mg / min.
