Answer #1

S afe dosage range: Dobutamine 2.5 to 20 mcg/kg/min
Available: Dobutamine 250 mg in 250 mL D5W
The IV flow rates for the lowest and highest dosages for a client who weighs 143 lb in mg/hour Lowest____________________________Highest______________________________________

143 lbs = 64.8637 kg

Lowest; 2.5 mcg x 64.8637/min

= 162.15925 mcg/min

= 0.16215925 mg/min

= 0.16215925 x 60

= 9.729555mg/hour

Available 250mg/250ml

= 1mg/ml

Lowest = 9.729555mg/hour

Highest = 20x 64.8637/min

= 20x 64.8637 x 60/hr

= 77836.44 mcg/hr

77836.44/1000

=77.83644 mg/hr
