Question
6. The order reads "1000 mL of D5W every 10 hours." The drop factor is 15 gtt/mL the flow rate is 25 gtt/min. after 4 hours, the nurse expects to see 600 mL remaining in the IV bottle but instead finds 540 mL. what should the new infusion rate be? An antibiotic dose of 50 mg in 2 mL is to be diluted in 50 mL of D5W for infusion over 30 minutes. A 15 mL flush is to follow. The medication is placed in a burette; the tubing delivers 60 gtt/ml, calculate the flow rate. Order: infuse 1 unite of packed cells (240 mL) over 3 hours. Drop factor: 10 gtt/mL How many drops per minute will you infuse? You have 1 g of a medication in 500 mL of normal saline solution. What is the concentration, in micrograms per milliliter, of the solution? 7. 8. 9.Explanation / Answer
Ans 6.: the remaining fulid available is = 540ml
Remaining time to administer a bottle= 10-4 = 6 hours
New infusion rate = (amount to be administer x drop factor)/time in minutes
By putting the value:
Infusion rate = (540 x 15)/6x60 minutes
= 22 drops / minute is the new infusion rate.
Ans 7: 50 mg in 2 ml. Diluted in 50 ml D5W
Total solution to be administered is 50+2= 52ml
Time of infusion is 30 minutes.
Drop factor is 60
Formula
Drop rate = amount to be administeredx drop factor / time in minutes
= 52 x 60/30
=104 drops per minute is the answer. .
Ans 8.
1 unit = 240 ml
Time of infusion = 3 hours = 3 x 60 minutes
Drop factor = 10
By putting the value in formula
Drop rate = 240 x 10 /3 x 60
= 2400/180
= 13 drops per minute. Ans
Ans 9: 1 gm in 500 ml
1 gm = 1000000 micro gram
500 mililitre
Which means 1000000micro gramin 500ml
Each ml contain = 1000000/500
= 2000microgram per millilitre answer
