An IV fluid of 1000 mL of lactated Ringer’s (LR) solution was started in a patient at 8:00 AM and was scheduled to run for 8 hours. At 11:00 AM, 800 mL of the fluid remained in the bag. At what rate of flow, in drops/minute, should the remaining fluid be regulated using an IV set that delivers 15 drops/mL to complete the administration of the fluid in the scheduled time?

Using a prescribed fluid delivery rate of 5 mL/kg/hr during the first hour of anesthesia, and a macrodrip delivery set with a delivery rate of 15 gtt/mL, a 53 lb patient would require which of the following infusion and drip rates?265 mL/hr; 1 gtt/sec121 mL/hr; 1 gtt/sec121 mL/hr; 1 GTT/2 sec121 mL/hr; 1 gtt/4 sec
An IV infusion of 2000 mL D5W was started for a patient beginning at 6:00 AM and was scheduled to run for 12 hours. However, the flow rate of the IV bag was entered incorrectly into the IV pump. At 11:00 AM, 816 mL of D5W remained in the bag. At what flow rate, in mL/hr, should the remaining fluid be given to the patient to complete the administration of the fluid in the scheduled time?
Nizatidine injection (25 mg/mL) is supplied in 4-mL vials. The prescription states that for continuous infusion 'dilute 300 mg in 150 mL and give at a rate of 10 mg/hour'. If this procedure is adopted, calculate: (a) how many vials of nizatidine injection will be required (b) the flow rate (in mg/hour). NOTE: PLEASE GIVE THE ANSWER WITHIN 2 HOURS THANK YOU
A Physician orders 40 mL of an IV solution containing ampicillin to run in 30 minutes with a microdrop infusion set. This is to be followed by 500 mL of NS to infuse at 50 drops per minute with an infusion set of 20 gtt/mL. What is the total infusion time for the two IV solutions?
15 mL of 10% Calcium Gluconate injection and 10 mL of a multivitamin infusion are mixed with 500 mL of NSS. The infusion is to be administered over a period of 5 hours. If the infusion set is calibrated at 15 drops per mL, at what rate in drops per minute should the flow rate be adjusted in order to administer the infusion over the desired time interval? Minocycline HCl susp. 1 tsp. po qid DC after 5d Appy ung. os ad lib.
The order is for 980 mL of D2.5W (2.5% dextrose in water) to infuse intravenously over a period of 8 hours (the drop factor is 20 gtt per mL). After the infusion has been running for 5 hours, you find 640 mL remaining left to be infused. What should the adjusted flow rate (in gtt/min) be in order to complete the infusion on schedule (i.e. within 8 hours)?
A patient with myocardial infarction is receiving a lidocaine drip containing 1 g/250 ml of dextrose 5% in water. If the drip factor is 15 gtt/ml, what should the infusion rate be to deliver 2 mg/min?
The order is for 1 gm of ampicillin in 75 mL of Normal Saline to run in 40 min. The drop factor is 20gtt/mL. At how many mL per hour should this IV run?
The doctor ordered PLR 1L (80/ml hour) for a 78 kg patient. The Surviving Sepsis Guideline indicates that "For patients with sepsis induced hypoperfusion or septic shock we suggest that at least 30 mL/kg of intravenous (IV) crystalloid fuid should be given within the frst 3 h of resuscitation." Does the ordered medication comply with the guideline? If not, what should be the infusion rate of the PLR 1L and how many PLR 1L will be used?
The volume of a 20mg dose of medication is 2ml. Dilute 15ml, and administer over 45 min with a 15 mo flush to follow. Determine the following: Dilution volume ml Rate in gtts/min Rate in ml/hr ml
A 72-year-old adult patient who weighs 78 kg is prescribed by the doctor “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” via the peripheral line for a potassium level of 3.3 mEq/L that was drawn this morning. Note: 10 mEq of potassium chloride increases serum potassium levels by approximately 0.1 mEq/.L The concentration of potassium for intravenous administration via a peripheral line should not exceed 40mmol / 500 mL 10 mEq/hr maximum infusion rate; not to exceed 200 mEq dose/24hr Administration rates above 20mmol/hour require cardiac monitoring. How much will the order medication “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” raise the patient's potassium level in a day? Is it still within the normal potassium serum levels, which is 3.5–5.0 mEq/L? Does the order comply with the maximum concentration of potassium to be administered peripherally? Does the order’s infusion rate do not exceed the standard maximum infusion rate? Does the order require cardiac monitoring?
