WEIGHT OF THE CLIENT = 72.4 KG
CALCULATING THE DRUG DOSE NEEDED IN HOUR IN MILIGRAMS
50 MG ( AVAILABLE DOSE) / 250 ML ( DILUTION ) = X ( NEEDED DOSE) / 75 ML
50 MG / 250 ML = X / 75 ML
250 * X = 50 * 75
250 X = 3750
X = 3750 / 250
X = 15 MG / HOUR
TO CALCULATE , MG / HOUR INTO MCG / MIN
1 MG = 1000 mg
15 MG = 15000 mcg
1 HOUR = 60 MIN
mcg / min = 15000 mcg / 60 min
= 250 mcg/min
weight of the client is 72.4 kgs
The dose that is to be given to the patient according to the weight is
= DOSE / WEIGHT
= 250 mcg / min / 72.4 kgs
= 3.45 mcg/ kg / min ( rounding to the nearest tenth)
= 3. 5 mcg / kg / min.
The client will receive 3.5 mcg/ kg/ min .
