During your 0800 – 1800 shift, Mr. Mamaril is under your care. You receive a medication order to administer 500.mL of 2/3 & 1/3 over 8.hours. You begin infusion at 0800 using a 500 mL IV bag, and a delivery set calibrated to.25 gtt/mL. Show all calculations. a) What is the prescribed flow rate (mL/hr)? At 1400, there is 240.mL TBA. b) Is the IV on time, ahead or behind, and by how much (mL)? c) What is the new flow rate (mL/hr)? d) What is the new drip rate (gtt/min)?

Beth R. (58 kg, 63 years old) is suffering from symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia. She will be started on an oral multiple-dose regimen with the antiarrhythmic mexiletine. The population average values of mexiletine for clearance and volume of distribution are Cl = 0.5 L/h/kg and V = 6 L/kg, respectively. Although a therapeutic range of 0.5– 2 mg/L has been described, avoiding large peak-to- trough fluctuations is recommended. The available oral dosage forms are 150, 200, and 250 mg capsules with an oral bioavailability of 0.9%. Design an appropriate and practical oral-dosing regimen that keeps the plasma concentrations at an average concentration of approximately 1 mg/L, with a peak-to-trough fluctuation of less than or equal to 100% (between 0.75 and 1.5 mg/L). What dosing regimen should be used? A. 150 mg every 6 hours B. 200 mg every 6 hours C. 200 mg every 8 hours D. 250 mg every 8 hours
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)?
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 nurse is to administer an IV medication of 200mg in 100 mL of normal saline. It is to be infused at 300mcg per minutes. At what rate (ml/hr) will the nurse set the IV pump?
A medication order for a client that weighs 80 kg states, infuse dobutamine 250 mg IV in 250 mL D5W at 4 mcg/kg/min. The infusion pump must be set tomL/hr? (Record answer as a whole number. Do notuse a trailing zero.)
An IV, with an IV set calibrated at 15 gtts/mL, is administered at 25 gtts/min. If the IV bag volume is 1000 mL, what is the expected run time?
A nurse is caring for a toddler and is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL IV infused over 4 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number and use a leading zero if applicable. Do not use a trailing zero.)
An IV infusion time is 13 hr 20 min. What is the completion time (in military time) if it was started at 10:40 AM?
Give Amikacin 800 mg IVPB, now Available: Amikacin 500 mg/2 ml Set and solution: D5W 150 ml bag and a drop factor of 15 gtt/ml set Instructions: Infuse over 60 min What is the correct dose? (mg in ml) What is the flow rate? (ml/hr) What is the drop rate? (gtt/min)
A 74-year-old man is admitted with a myocardial infarction and a severe acute cardiac arrhythmia. You decide to give lidocaine to correct the arrhythmia. A continuous intravenous infusion of lidocaine, 1.92 mg/min, is started at 8 AM. The pharmacokinetic parameters of lidocaine are: Vd 77 L; clearance 640 mL/min; half-life 1.4 h. What is the expected steady-state plasma concentration? a. 40 mg/L b. 0.025 mg/L C. 3.46 mg/L d. 7.2 mg/L e. 3.0 mg/L
