Nitroglycerin, used to treat patients with angina, is prescribed for a patient by IV at a rate of 205 μg/min. The IV bag contains 50 mg nitroglycerin/250 mL D5W. How many milliliters per hour should the patient receive?
Added by Victoria L.
Step 1
1 microgram (μg) is equal to 0.001 milligrams (mg), so 205 μg/min is equal to 0.205 mg/min. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so the patient is receiving 0.205 mg/min * 60 min/hr = 12.3 mg/hr. Show more…

A patient is to receive: Nitroglycerin 10.0 mcg/min continuous IV infusion via non-absorptive tubing. If 25.0 mg of Nitroglycerin have been added to 250.0 mL infusion solution. At what drip rate in mL/min should the IV pump be set? (1.00 mcg = 1.00 μg).

If an IV is mixed so that each $150 \mathrm{mL}$ contains $500 .$ mg of the drug lidocaine, how many minutes will it take for $750 \mathrm{mg}$ of lidocaine to be administered if the rate is set at $5 \mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{min} ?$
