J.D. has a dosing weight of 100 kg and is to receive a starting dose of epoprostenol at the rate of 2 nanograms/kilogram/minute. Using 0.5mg epoprostenol in 100mL solution, what is the rate of infusion in terms of mL/hour that the nurse must program into the pump in order to deliver 2 ng/kg/min? 58mL/hr 24mL/hr 2.4mL/hr 5.8 mL/hr

Step 1
\[ \text{Dose (ng/min)} = \text{Weight (kg)} \times \text{Dose rate (ng/kg/min)} = 100 \, \text{kg} \times 2 \, \text{ng/kg/min} = 200 \, \text{ng/min} \] Show more…

A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.4% sodium chloride 1L to infuse at 100 ml/hr. The nurse is using micro tubing. The nurse should set the IV infusion rate, how many gtt/min. Round to the nearest whole number. A nurse is caring for a client with a pulmonary embolism and has a new prescription for enoxaparin 1.5mg/kg/dose subcutaneous every 12hr. The client weighs 245 lbs. How many mg should the nurse administer per dose? (If needed, round to the nearest whole number.) A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1200 ml IV to infuse over 24 hrs. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/ml. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min, round up to the nearest whole number. USE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS.

Your patient Jane Doe weighs 198 lb. You have a 1 L bag of saline (from which you have removed 10 ml) and a drug pump which can be set to run between 1 and 10 ml/min. She has an order for the drug CONVERTIN to be given at a dose of 300 μg/kg/hr. A vial of CONVERTIN contains 90 mg of the drug in 10 ml of saline. After adding the vial of CONVERTIN to the bag of saline and connecting it via pump to the patient's IV line, at what rate should the pump be set in order to deliver the drug dose as ordered?

The physician orders IVPB infusion of cefTRIAXone 2 g every 12 hr for a patient with meningitis. The pharmacy sends a 2 g vial of cefTRIAXone powdered medication. The nurse is preparing to reconstitute the medication and refers to the package insert. How many mL of diluent will the nurse add to the vial? How many mL of the reconstituted medication will the nurse add to the 100 mL IV bag of 0.9% NaCl to administer to the patient? Select all that apply. Diluent: 2.1 mL Administer: 5.7 mL Diluent: 4.2 mL Administer: 5.7 mL Diluent: 3.6 mL Administer: 8 mL Diluent: 4.2 mL Administer: 8 mL Diluent: 7.2 mL Administer: 8 mL
