Answer 1

Patient's weight is 70 kg.

Solution strength is 800 mg/500 ml.

So, solution strength per mL = 1.6 mg/mL = 1600 mcg/ml

Rate is 5 ml/hour = 0.083 ml/min

X mcg/min/800000 mcg x 500 ml = 0.083 ml/min.

X = 132. 8 mcg/min

Patient weighs 70 kg. So, 132.8/70 = 1.89 mcg/kg/min

So, client is receiving 1.9 mcg/kg/min.
