I will send anyone a $25 psa 9 card (hockey) if any of you can show me the set up for these 3 questions. I have a test tomorrow, and sometimes my instructor uses the same questions from practice.
If you can do this, please show the set-up and cancellations. I'll provide the answers; I just need to see the set i.e. 40mg/5 mcg X 1000 mcg/1 g etc etc.
I think there was a board member who's wife is a nurse.
Here's 3 that I couldn't do.
1) The doctor's order reads: Drug X 2 mg IVPB in 500 mL D5W at 5 mcg per minute. The drop factor is 60 gtts
per mL. What is the flow rate in mL per Hour? (IVPB means a medication dissolved in a small amount of intravenous
fluid, usually 50 or 100 mL, and run piggback with the regular intravenous fluid).
Answer: 75 mL/Hr
2) The order is for Drug X 1 g IVPB in 100 mL D5W q6h to infuse over 30 minutes. The drop factor is 10 gtts per mL.
What is the flow rate in mL per hour?
Answer: 200 mL/Hr
3) What is the flow rate for # 2 in gtts per minute?
Answer: 33 gtts/min
Thanks.
