Question

An 8-kg infant requires a continuous infusion of drug to run at 1 mL/hour to deliver 3 mcg/kg per minute. How many milligrams of drug should be added to a 100-ml intravenous infusion solution to achieve the desired infusion rate and dose? Cortisporin Sterile Otic Suspension contains 3.5 mg/mL neomycin, 10 mg/ml hydrocortisone, and 0.1% thimerosal; the directions instruct the patient to instill 3 drops in the affected ear. How many milligrams of hydrocortisone does the patient receive per dose if the droptainer is calibrated to dispense 50 UL per drop? A patient order specifies: "Sodium Heparin 10,000 units in 250 mL NSS. Infuse over 4 hours." If the administration set delivers 60 drops/mL, what is the flow rate in drops/min?
