The nurse is preparing to administer a continuous dopamine infusion of 5mcg/kg/min. The client weighs 85kg and the available medication contains 400 mg of dopamine in 250 mL of D5W. At what rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr) should the nurse program the infusion pump? ROUND ANSWER USING A WHOLE NUMBER.....
Im having trouble with this....I got 16 mL/hr....... dont know if this is correct.
please help
calculation: formula
Dose ordered X weight X volume X times / have (dose of the drug you
have)
5mcg/kg/min X 85kg X 250ml X 60ml/hr / 4,00,000mcg (400mg) =
63,75,000/ 4,00,000 = 15.9ml/hr
In whole number round up = 16ml/hr
