drug concentration: 40 mg/ml, 20ml per vial
dose: 70mg/kg/24hr
patient weight: 65 kg
1. What is the rate of infusion(ml/hr) that should be entered on the pharmacy label?
1a How many vials of drug would be used for the patient? please show work
ANSWER
1. Rate of infusion (ml / hr)
* Formula
Rate of infusion = Volume (ml) / Time (hr)
Ordered dose = 70mg/kg/24hr.
Patient body weight = 65 kg.
Total volume needed for the patient = 70 * 65
= 4550 mg.
1 ml = 40 mg.(drug concentration)
So Volume = 4550 / 40
= 113.8 ml.
Total time = 24 hr.
Rate of infusion = 113.8 / 24
= 4.74 ml/ hr.
* Number of vials of drug used for the patient
Drug concentration = 40mg /ml.
1 vial = 20 ml.
Total volume needed for the patient = 113.8 ml
Total vials needed for the patient = 113.8 / 20
= 5.7
= 6 vials.
