ANSWER.

* Calculation of rate of infusion.

     Rate(ml/hr) = Volume(ml) /Time(hr)

       Calculation of volume.

             Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

   Here

           Ordered dose = 10 mcg/kg/min.

           Weight of the patient = 168 pounds.

      Convert pound to kg for calculation

                         1 pound = 0.454 kg.

            Weight of the patient = 168 * 0.454

                                              = 76.3 kg.

    So

             Desired dose(D) = 10 * 76.3

                                         = 763 mcg.

             Convert mcg to mg for calculation

                             1 mcg = 0.001 mg.

           So

                  Desired dose(D) = 763 * 0.001

                                              = 0.76 mg.

                   Dose in hand (H) = 250 mg.

                            Quantity (Q) = 250 ml

          As per above formula for calculating volume

                      Volume of drug required = D/H * Q

                                                              = 0.76 / 250 * 250

                                                              = 0.76 ml / min.

                Convert ml/min to ml/hr by multiply with 60.

                             Rate (ml/hr) = 0.76 * 60

                                                  = 45.6 ml/hr.
