Hi.
00:02
So you have here, the given question, we have a client that weighs 220 pounds and is receiving dopamine infusion at a rate of 10 micrograms per kilogram per minute.
00:14
The solution strength is 400 milligrams per 250 ml of dextrose 5 % in water.
00:25
Now, the nurse will set the infusion rate on the pump to deliver how many ml per hour.
00:30
So first, we need to go.
00:32
Convert the client's weight from pounds to kilograms.
00:37
We have 220 pounds, this is the weight, and then the conversion factor is that one pound, this is equivalent to 0 .45 kilograms.
00:50
So we could cancel pounds here.
00:54
Multiplying these two numbers, 220 multiplied by 0 .45 is 99 kilograms.
01:01
So this is the patient's weight or declines weight.
01:05
Now, let's calculate the total amount of dopamine required for this client.
01:20
So we know that the rate is 10 micrograms per kilogram per minute...
