The doctor orders an IV weight-based medication to be infused at 2 mcg/kg/min. The patient weighs 130 lbs. You are supplied with a bag of the IV medication that reads 250mg/250 ml. How many mL/hr will you administer? Heparin Calculation: The doctor orders your patient to start an IV Heparin drip at 5 units/kg/hr and to administer a loading bolus dose of 10 units/kg IV before initiation of the drip. You're supplied with a Heparin bag that reads 12,500 units/250 mL. The patient weighs 110 lbs. What is the flow rate you will set the IV pump rate (mL/hr)? Pediatric Safe Dosage: The doctor ordered an IV drip for a child that weighs 78 lbs. The safe dosage range for the ordered medication is 5-10 mcg/kg/min. What is the safe dosage range for this child?

00:01 So our order says to start a drip iv heparin at 5 units per kilogram per hour plus initial wellness plus 10 units per kilogram iv before the drip.
00:39 And our bag provides 12 ,500 units per 250 ml.
00:58 Patient weighs 110 pounds.
01:08 So if we want to know the iv drip rate or pump rate in ml per hour, then we're gonna do the bolus first.
01:36 It's not the drip because you give that just as an iv push.
01:40 So the 5 units per kilogram per hour, we're gonna multiply by the 250 ml divided by 12 ,500 units to convert our units to milliliters.
02:08 And this is what we have on hand.
02:11 And then we have to get rid of the kilograms.
02:15 So we're gonna multiply by the weight, which is 110 pounds.
02:20 But we want this as kilograms.
02:25 So that is gonna be 1 kilogram per 2 .2 pounds.
02:34 And now my kilograms will cancel there...
