Answer 1

Answer :

* Patient has medication H is 100 units per kg bolus means,

* the patient weight is 160 kgs, so bolus is 16000 units, these bolus should be given at a time.

* if the drug is 5000 units in 100 ml means 1ml equals to 50 units.

* so 320 ml equals to 16000 units. Because 50 × 320 =16000.

* so 320 ml bolus should be given.

* Next followed by 25 units per kg per hours should be given.

* here 1 ml equals to 50 units.

* So 0.5 ml equals to 25 units. That is 50/2 =25.

* 25 units per kg means 4000 units per hour.

* " 80 ml " should be administered, because 1 ml equals to 50 units.

* so 80 ml equals to 4000 units.

80 × 50 = 4000 .

* So " 80 ml " per hour should be administered.
