You are working a shift from 1200 to 2000 and Mrs. Purcell is under your care. Her IV prescription for ½N/S is scheduled to begin at 1300. The prescriber has ordered 800 mL of ½N/S to run at 85 mL/hr. You begin infusion at 1300 using a 500 mL IV bag and an IV set calibrated to 10 gtt/mL. Show all calculations. a) What is the prescribed drip rate? b) At what time do you expect the IV bag to run empty? At 1500, the IV bag is half empty. c) Is the IV on time, ahead or behind, and by how much? d) What is the new flow rate? e) What is the new drip rate?

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
For a patient receiving a vasoactive drug such as intravenous dopamine, which action by the nurse is most appropriate? a) Monitor the gravity drip infusion closely, and adjust as needed. b) Assess the patient’s cardiac function by checking the radial pulse. c) Assess the intravenous site hourly for possible infiltration. d) Administer the drug by intravenous boluses according to the patient’s blood pressure
