Question 6 2 pts A hospital medication order calls for the administration of 60 g of mannitol to a patient as an osmotic diuretic over a 12-hour period. Calculate (a) how many milliliters of a 250 mg/mL mannitol injection should be administered per hour, and (b) how many milliosmoles of mannitol would be represented in the prescribed dosage. (Note: mannitol mw=182; MW/Number of species = mg/mOsmol). a) 15 mL; b) 283.8 mOsmol a) 20 mL; b) 329.7 mOsmol a) 10 mL; b) 195.2 mOsmol a) 25 mL; b) 402.3 mOsmol

A doctor administers a drug to a 30-kg patient, using a dosage formula of 46 mg/kg/day. Assume that the drug is available in a 100 mg per 5 mL suspension or in 300 mg tablets. a. How many tablets should a 30-kg patient take every four hours? b. The suspension with a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL delivers the drug intravenously to the patient over a twelve-hour period. What flow rate should be used in units of gtt/hr? a. The patient should take 0 pills every four hours.
