Order: 1L DSW with 30 mEq KCI to infuse over 10 hours Supply: 1L bag of DSW with gravity administration set tubing drip factor of 15gtt/i :Vial of KCL 40mEq in 20mL What volume of KCL is added to the IV bag?m What is the hourly rate of the IV? ml/hr What is the drip rate of the IV? gm/min 12. Order: Pepcid 20mg IV bolus now Supply: Pepcid 10mg/mL in a 2 mL ampule Stock 10mL syringe of Normal Saline (NS) Instructions: For Ⅳ bolus, Pepcid needs to be diluted in NS for a total volume of 10mL Dose needs to be injected over 2 minutes What is the volume of Pepcid to be given?ml What is the volume of NS to be given? ml 13. Order: Pepcid 20 mg IVPB q 12 h. Supply: Pepcid 10mg/ml in a 1mL single use v Instructions: Use Normal Saline (NS) 100 m( ie·nfuse over 30 minutes via an infusion

Answer 1

11. Ordered dose of D5W with 30mEq kcl is 1000ml =1liter

Total time of infusion is 10hours

Drop factor of tubing set is 15 drops /ml

20ml vial has 40mEq of kcl

1. The volume of kcl to be added is :-

40 mEq of kcl is available in 20 ml of vial

We need 30mEq of kcl to be added into the D5W

1mEq of kcl will be available in 20/ 40ml

Then 30mEq of kcl will be available in 20 / 40× 30 ml

= 15 ml of kcl has to be added to the IV bag .

2. Flow rate = total volume of the solution / total time

= Total volume of solution to be administered = 1000ml

Total time to infuse the solution = 10 hours

Flow rate = 1000/ 10

= 100ml/ hr

3. The drip rate of the IV tuning set is 15gtt/ min

12. Ordered dose of pepcid is 20mg IV bolus

Available dose of pepcid is 10mg/ ml in a 2ml ampule

Available syringe of NS is 10 ml

For giving IV bolus pepcid ,it should be diluted in 10ml of NS .

Has to be infused over 2mins

1. Volume of pepcid to be given is 2ml because 1ml of ampule has 10mg of pepcid so for 20mg of pepcid total 2ml will be given .

2. The total volume of NS to be given is 10ml
