Answer to 6th question: 0.2 mg /mL
Given Order: nitroprusside 100 mg in D5W 500 mL at 60 mL/hr
Dose weight = 100mg, Volume = 500mL
Concentration of solution = Dose weight / Volume
= 100 mg / 500mL = 0.2 mg /mL.
Answer to 7th question: 1mL/min.
Given Order: nitroprusside 100 mg in D5W 500 mL at 60 mL/hr
The infusion rate = 60 mL/hr ( 1Hour = 60 min)
the infusion rate in volume /min (ml /min) = 60 mL / 60 min
= 1 mL/min.
the infusion rate in volume /min = 1mL/min.
Answer to 8th question: 60 mL/hr
Given Order: nitroprusside 100 mg in D5W 500 mL at 60 mL/hr
The infusion rate in volume / hour = 60 mL/hr as given per order.
Answer to 9th question: 0.0033 mg / (ml min).
Given Order: nitroprusside 100 mg in D5W 500 mL at 60 mL/hr
In this the concentration of solution = 0.2mg/mL (From question 6th)
That means 0.2 mg per 1 mL
The infusion rate is 60ml/hr
The infusion rate in concentration/ min = 0.2 mg/mL / 60min = 0.0033 mg / (ml min)
infusion rate in concentration/ min is 0.0033 mg / (ml min)
Answer to 10th question: 0.2 mg/(mL hr)
Given Order: nitroprusside 100 mg in D5W 500 mL at 60 mL/hr
1HOUR = 60minutes
the concentration of solution = 0.2mg/mL (From question 6th)
The infusion rate is 60ml/hr
The infusion rate in concentration/ hour = 0.2 mg/mL / hr
= 0.2 mg/(mL hr)
The infusion rate in concentration/ hour =0.2 mg/(mL hr)
Answer to 11th question: 0.1 mg /mL.
Given Order: nitroprusside 25 mg in D5W 250 mL at 50 mcg/min
Dose weight = 25mg, Volume = 250mL
Concentration of solution = Dose weight / Volume
= 25mg / 250mL = 0.1 mg /mL.
Answer to 12th question: 0.25 mL/min.
Given Order: dopamine 800 mg in D5W 500 mL at 400 mcg/min
The infusion rate is given =400mcg /min.
1mg = 1000mcg (micrograms)
1mcg = 0.001mg (milligram)
Conversion of mcg to Mg
400mcg= 400 0.001mg = 0.4 mg
Dose = 400mcg/min = 0.4mg /min
Dose in mg/min = 0.4mg /min
volume = 500mL
amount of dose = 800mg
Formula for The infusion rate in volume /min:
infusion rate in volume /min(mL/min) = ( Dose in mg/min volume in mL ) / amount of dose in mg
= ( 0.4mg/min 500 mL) / 800mg
= 200 /800 = 0.25 mL/min.
infusion rate in volume /min = 0.25 mL/min.
Answer to 13th question: 0.133mg / (mL min )
Given Order: aminophylline 2 g in 250 mL D5W at 20 mL/hr
1gram = 1000mg
Given dose = 2gms
Conversion of g to Mg:
Dose = 2gms = 2 1000mg
Dose = 2000mg
Volume = 250 mL
Concentration of solution = Dose weight / Volume
= 2000 mg / 250mL = 8mg /mL .
Concentration = 8mg /mL
Infusion rate = 20mL /hr ( 1Hour = 60 min)
the infusion rate in volume /min (ml /min) = 20 mL / 60 min = 0.33 mL/min.
The infusion rate in concentration/ min = (8mg/mL) / hour= ( 8mg /ml) / 60min
= (0.133mg/ mL min)
The infusion rate in concentration/ min = 0.133mg / (mL min)
Answer to 14th question: 1mg / (mL hr)
Given Order: diltiazem 100 mg in 100 mL NSS at 10 mg/hr
Dose = 100mg
Volume = 100mL
Concentration of solution = Dose weight / Volume
= 100 mg / 100mL = 1 mg/ mL
Infusion rate in concentration/hour = (1mg /mL) /hour
= 1mg / (mL hr).
Answer to 15 th question: 15 mL/hr.
Given Order: bretylium 1 g in 250 mL D5W at 1 mg/min
Dose = 1g
volume =250mL
1gram = 1000mg
Given dose = 1gms
Conversion of g to Mg:
Dose = 1gms = 1 1000mg = 1000mg
Dose =1000mg.
Dose rate = 1mg/min (1hour = 60min)
convertion of mg/min to mg/hr:
Dose rate = 1mg/min = 1mg/min 60min /hr
Dose rate = 60 mg/ hr.
Formula for The infusion rate in volume /hr:
infusion rate in volume /hr(mL/hr) = ( Dose in mg/hr volume in mL ) / amount of dose in mg
= ( 60mg/hr 250mL ) / 1000mg
= (15000)/ 1000 = 15 mL/hr.
infusion rate in volume /hr = 15 mL/hr.
