Exam 20: IV Medication and Titration Calculations

A 400 mg in 250 mL solution is ordered for a 89.7 kg patient to titrate between 4 and 10 mcg/kg/min. Calculate the dosage range in mcg/min and flow rate range in mL/hr.

A solution of 500 mg in 1000 mL is to infuse between 0.4 and 0.8 mg/kg/hr for a patient weighing 61.4 kg. Calculate dosage range in mg/hr and flow rate range in mL/hr.

A drug is ordered to titrate between 4 and 6 mcg/kg/min. The body weight is 78.6 kg and the solution strength is 200 mg/100 mL. Calculate the dosage range in mcg/min and flow rate range in mL/hr.

A 250 mL solution with 2 mg of a drug is to be infused at 7 mcg/min. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr.

The available solution strength is 500 mg in 500 mL. The order is to titrate the dosage from 2-5 mg/kg/hr for a patient weighing 60 kg. Calculate dosage range in mg/hr and flow rate range in mL/hr.
