Activity 5 A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% NaCl 500 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the answer to the nearest whole number.) A nurse is preparing to administer D5W 500 mL IV to infuse over 6 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)

Step 1
) To calculate the mL/hr for 0.45% NaCl 500 mL IV to infuse over 8hr, we can use the formula: mL/hr = total volume (mL) / total time (hr) So, mL/hr = 500 / 8 = 62.5 mL/hr Rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 63 mL/hr. Show more…

A physician orders an IV to run at 100 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 10 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? (Hint: 100 mL per hour is the volume of 100 mL in a time of 60 minutes) 10. An IV is to run at 50 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? 11. An antibiotic is mixed as 50 mL of IV solution. It is to infuse in one hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 60 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? Calculate the flow rate for an IV of 1000 mL of normal saline to be infused in 8 hours. The drop factor of the infusion set is 20 gtt/mL. An IV solution of Zosyn 3.375 g in 50 mL of normal saline is to run over 30 minutes. What is the flow rate if the drop factor is 15 gtt/mL? (Hint: Do you need to use every number mentioned in the problem?)

You need to administer an anesthetic Lignocaine injection (IV) once only to a patient. The IV requires a dose of 10 mg. You have available ampoules of Lignocaine stock A) 25mg/5 ml (0.5%) OR B) 20 mg/2ml (1%). Which appropriate stock ampoule AND volume would you choose to draw up for IV? Select one: Stock A; 4 mL Stock A; 1 mL Stock B; 1 mL Stock B; 4 mL A patient weighing 56 kg has arrived in the Emergency Department (ED) and requires morphine to be prepared in the appropriate solutions for intravenous infusion. You have 20 mg of morphine in a 20 ml syringe (at 1 mg/ml) and need to infuse it such that the administration is controlled through a syringe pump. The patient is to receive 200 mcg/kg/hour. What would you set syringe pump flow rate (ml/min)? Select one: 1.12 mg/min 0.187 mcg/hr 0.187 ml/min 11.2 ml/min You have 20% (w/v) concentrated saline in 5 ml ampoules. What volume and how many ampoules do you need to make an isotonic saline solution (0.9 % w/v) required for 1.5 litres. Select one: 45 ml of 20% (w/v) saline; 9 ampoules 27 ml of 20% (w/v) saline; 5.4 ampoules 67.5 ml of 20% (w/v) saline; 13.5 ampoules 33 ml of 20% (w/v) saline; 6.6 ampoules
