7. Order: Administer amiodarone (900 mg in What rate (ml/hr) will the nurse set on the D5W 500 ml) at 1 mg/min IV pump to del

Answer 1

Answer #1

Ans

900 mg in 500ml distilled water

Concentration of drug=900/500=1.8mg/ml

At 1 mg/min that means in 60 min-60mg (60mg/hour) should be given

Now, in 1.8 mg---> 1 ml

So in 60mg--> 1*60/1.8=33.3

So, 33.3ml per hour should be the infusion rate.
