Math practice question: The provider has prescribed nitroprusside 225mcg/min IV. The IV bag contains 100mg in 250mL of D5W. The patient weighs 190 pounds. What rate (mL/hr) should the IV pump be set to infuse this med? Show your calculation and round to nearest whole number.
The provider has prescribed nitroprusside 225 mcg/min.
100 mg/250 ml is the concentration of bag. So, 0.4mg/ml is the concentration.
1 mg = 1000 mcg. 0.4 mg = 400 mcg. So, the concentration is 400 mcg/mL.
So, the volume to administer 225 mcg is 0.5625 ml/min.
So, per hour rate is 0.5625 x 60 = 33.75 ml/hour.
So IV pump should be set to infuse 34 ml/ hour.
