Dopamine infusing at 32 mL/hr Dose on hand: 400 mg Dopamine in 500 mL D5W Question: How many mcg/min of dopamine is the patient receiving? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Added by Raquel S.
Step 1
- The dose on hand is 400 mg of dopamine in 500 mL of D5W. - This means there is 400 mg of dopamine in 500 mL, or 0.8 mg of dopamine per mL. - The infusion rate is 32 mL/hr, so the total amount of dopamine infused per hour is 32 mL/hr * 0.8 mg/mL = 25.6 mg/hr. Show more…
