A client is ordered 0.5 milligrams of Digoxin twice a day for 3 days. 250 microgram tablets are available. How many total tablets will the pharmacist give the patient? Nipride is at a concentration of 100 mg/250 ml. A dosage of 10 mg/5 kg was ordered to decrease your patient's blood pressure. The patient's weight is 143 kg, and the IV pump is set at 25 ml/hr. How long will it take to administer the correct dosage of Nipride? A Lidocaine drip is infusing on your 90 kg patient at 22 ml/hour. The Lidocaine concentration is 2 grams in 250 ml. How many mg/hour is your patient receiving? Dose ordered 10 mg Cyanocobalamin per day. Dose on hand Cyanocobalamin 30 mg per 5 ml. How much will the patient have to drink?Explanation / Answer
8. 37.5mg per 10 kg is the dose. Patient is 80 kg, so he would require ( 80/10) × 37.5 = 300mg
25mg tablets are available so 300/25= 12 tablets per day
12 ×7 = 84 tablets per week.
9. 0.5 mg digoxin twice a day so 1 mg per day. And 3mg for 3 days or 3000micrograms.
250 microgram tablets available so 3000/250 = 12 tablets will be given for 3days.
10. 10mg per 5kg is dose. Patient is 143 kg, so he will require ( 143 × 10) / 5 = 286mg
100mg per 250 ml is the concentration, so volume required will be ( 286 × 250) / 100 = 715 ml
Now the rate of iv pump is 25ml per hour, so time taken to administer the dose will be , 715 / 25 = 28.6 hours.
11. The concentration of lidocaine is 2grams or 2000 mg in 250 ml. Patient is receiving 22ml per hour.
22 ml has (2000 × 22) / 250 = 176 mg
