Compute the answers to the following questions based on this information. A patient's IV fluids are to be limited. His continuous IV order is for 2,000 mL of NS every 24 hours. He is to receive an IV PB of 150 mg of netromycin in 100 mL NS infused in 2 hours, every 8 hours. His IV flow rate is controlled by an infusion pump. Answer the following questions about his IV PB. -How many milliliters per day flow for his IV PB? __________ mL/day

The following questions refer to your patient who is on IV heparin therapy according to the "Standard Weight Based Heparin Protocol" noted below. The patient weighs 144 pounds. On admission, the patient's APTT is 30 seconds. You initiate IV heparin therapy at 1130 on 06/06/XX. Record your answers in the spaces below unless provided with the "Standard Weight Based Heparin Protocol Worksheet" by your instructor. Standard Weipht Based Heparin Pratocal For all patients an heparin drips: 1. Weight in kalograms. Reqquired far arder to be proces5ed: $\underline{\quad\quad}$ kg 2. Heparin 25,000 units in 250 mL of $1 / 2$ NS. Boluses to be piven as 1000 unitshmL. 3. APTT q. fh or 6 hours after rate change; q. d. after two consecutive therapeutic APTT's. 4. CBC initally and repeat every $\underline{\quad\quad}$ day(5). 5. Obtain APTT' and PT/NR on day one prior to initiation of therapy. 6. Guaiac stadi initially, then every $\underline{\quad\quad}$ day(s) until heparin diecontinued. Natify if positive. 7. Neura checks every hours while an heparin. Natify physician of any changes. 8. D/C APTT and CBC ance heparin drip is diecontinued unless atherwrise ardered. 9. Natify physician of any bleeding prablems. 10. Bolus with 80 U/kg Start dip at 18 units/ $/ \mathrm { Kg } / \mathrm { h }$ . 11. If APTT' is $< 35$ secs: $\quad$ Rebolus writh 80 units/s and increase rate by 4 units/kg/h 12. If APTT' is 36-44 secs: $\quad$ Rebolus writh 4D units/se and increase rate by 2 units/kg/h 13. If APTT' is 45-75 secs: $\quad$ Continue curtent rate 14. If APTT is 76–90 secs: $\quad$ Decrease rate by 2 unitsh /kg/h 15. If APTT' is > 90 secs: $\quad$ Hold heparin far I hour and decrease rate by 3 units/kg/h -What does the protocol/sample order indicate for the initial infusion rate for this patient? __________ units/kg/h Calculate the dosage of heparin this patient should receive each hour. __________ units/h What does the protocol/sample orders indicate as the required solution concentration (supply dosage) of heparin to use for the initial infusion? __________ units/mL Calculate the heparin solution volume this patient should receive each hour to provide correct infusion for the patient's weight. __________ mL/h

Order: Nitroglycerin 100 mg IV in 500 mL D5W to infuse at a rate of 30 mcg/min. Calculate the flow rate. Flow rate: ___________ gtt/min
