Answer 1

Answer #1

Solution:

Ordered drug = 60mcg/kg/min

Available drug = 5g in 500mL

1gram = 1000000 mcg.

5gram = 5000000 mcg.

So, 60mcg/kg/min.

Weight of the patient = 66kg.

66kg × 60 mcg = 3960mcg/min.

5000000 mcg drug is present in 500mL

So, 3960mcg will be present in 3960 × 500 =1,980,000

1,980,000 ÷ 5000000 = 0.396 ml

The IV flow rate will be = 0.396ml/min.
