Question 2

Correct Answer:

Verified

66.9 mcg/min; 20 mL/hr
0.9 mcg/kg/min × 74.3 kg = 66.87 = 66.9 mcg/min
66.9 mcg/min × 60 min = 4014 mcg/hr
4014 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 4.01 = 4 mg/hr

The order is to titrate a solution of 250 mg in 250 mL at 15-18 mcg/kg/min. The patient weighs 59 kg. Calculate the dosage range in mcg/min and flow rate range in mL/hr.

Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

885-1062 mcg/min; 53-64 mL/hr
15 mcg/kg/min × 59 kg = 885 mcg/min
18 mcg/kg/min × 59 kg = 1062 mcg/min
The dosage range is 885-1062 mcg/min.
885 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 153,100 mcg/hr
53,100 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 53.1 mg/hr
1062 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 63,720 mcg/hr
63,720 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg = 63.72 = 63.7 mg/hr The flow rate range is 53-64 mL/hr.

An adult whose weight is 106.2 kg is to receive a dosage of 3-6 mg/kg/hr. The solution strength is 1 g in 500 mL. Calculate dosage range in mg/hr and flow rate range in mL/hr.
