IV Questions – round answers to nearest whole number 9. 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 volume of 100 mL in 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 1 hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 60 gtt/mL What is the flow rate? 12. 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 13. 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?)

A physician orders an intravenous solution to contain 10,000 units of heparin in 1 liter of 5% w/v dextrose solution to be infused at such a rate that the patient will receive 500 units per hour. If the intravenous set delivers 10 drops/mL, how many drops per minute should be infused to deliver the desired dose? A physician prescribes a 5-mcg/kg/min IV drip of dopamine for a 175-lb. patient, and the pharmacist adds an ampule of dopamine (200 mg/5 mL) to a 250-mL bottle of D5W. What drip rate should be run, in drops per minute, using a mini drip set that delivers 60 drops/mL?

The nurse receives an Order for 500 mL of DSYANS to be infused over 12 hours. What is the infusion rate in mL/hr? Please round answer to the nearest tenth decimal place. A patient experiencing diarrhea receives a lactate infusion order for 1000 mL over 152 hours. The drop factor of the available tubing is 15 gtt/mL. Calculate the drip rate (gtt/min) at which the nurse should regulate the infusion. A patient with dysrhythmia receiving an infusion of amiodarone contains 900 mg in 20 mL of amiodarone. The patient is receiving DSW. How much of the medication is the patient receiving per minute? Please round to the nearest tenth decimal place. The healthcare provider writes an order for an IV piggyback of ceftriaxone sodium (Kefzol) 500 mg in 50 mL of DSW to run over 20 minutes. What rate (in mL/hr) should the nurse set the infusion pump? Please round answer to the nearest whole number. A patient being treated for deep vein thrombosis has orders for IV heparin at a dose of 5000 units/hr. The available supply of the medication is heparin 50,000 units in 500 mL of NS. What rate (in mL/hr) should the nurse set the IV pump? Please round answer to the nearest whole number. A patient being treated for deep vein thrombosis has orders for an IV heparin drip at 4400 units/hr. The available supply of the medication is heparin 100,000 units in 500 mL of NS. What rate (in mL/hr) should the nurse set the IV pump? Please round answer to the nearest whole number. A patient with ketoacidosis receives an order to infuse regular insulin at 50 units in 250 mL of insulin drip at 5 units/hr. The available supply of the medication is mL/hr. Please round to the nearest whole number. What rate should the nurse set the IV pump? NS: What is the nearest whole number?

In the hospital, your doctor orders $100 .$ mg of medication per hour. The label on the IV bag reads $5.0 \mathrm{g} / 1000 . \mathrm{mL}$ (a) How many mL should infuse each hour? (b) The IV administration set delivers 15 gtts/mL, where the unit gtts denotes drops of liquid as explained in Problem $39 .$ The current drip rate is set to $10 .$ gtts/min. Is this correct? If not, what is the correct drip rate?
