Answer #1

Convert the client weight to kg 1 lb = 2.2

So 154lb divide it by 2.2, 154/2.2= 70kg

Order integrillin 180mcg/kg so 180mcg×70= 12600mcg

Convert mcg into mg 1mcg=0.001mg

Thus 12600mcg is divided by 1000 = 12.6mg

Available 2mg/ml

ml/hour= total volume÷infusion time

Required 12.6mg available 2mg so take 6.3mg for the rate

Therefore 500/1= 500ml
