Question

8. A patient has an IV of 250 ml with a flow rate of 19 microdrops/minute. How many hours will it take for the infusion to finish? 9. The order is 3.1 g of Timentin IVPB in 100 ml of NSS. The directions are to reconstitute the Timentin by adding 13 ml to the vial with the resulting concentration of 500 mg/1 ml. How much Timentin will be added to the buretrol? How much diluent will you add? The IV should run over 2 hours. If the drop factor of the tubing is 10 gtts/ml how fast should the IV drip each minute? 10. The order states that 200 mg of morphine is to be added to 250 ml of 5% DW and this solution is to be infused at 10 mg/hour. How many ml/hr will the patient receive?

Answer 1

8.9.

E = 250 ml GIVE DATA TOTAL AMOUNT OF FLUID TO BG INFUSED FLOW RATE - 19 microdoops / minute MICRO DRIP TUBG CAN DELIVER ONE ML OF FLUID AS 60 DROPS , THUS THE DROP FACTOR FOR MICRO DRIP TUBE IS 60 - THE FORMULA FOR FLOW RATE IN DROPS PER MINUTE TOTAL VOLUME, DROP = Time (minutes) FACTOR 19 meght = 2 it - 250ml x 60 HERE 'x' is the Time WHICH IS UNKNOWN Thus, v 19x = 15,000 X = 15,000 = 789 minutes AS THUS THE Q50 ML FLUID WILL BE TRANSFUSED OVER 789 minutes. WE NEED THE TIME IN HOURS THUS, 789 minutes - 13.15 hours. 60 THE ANSWER IS 13.15 hours.

a) The amount of Timentin to be added to the buretol is 6.2 mL which contain 3.1 g of drug

9. GIVE DATA TIMENTIN ORDERED = 3.1 g. Igm = 1000mg. THUS THE AMOUNT OF DRUG ORDERED = 3.1X1000 = 3100 gmg. CONCENTRATION OF DRUG IN 1mL = 500mg TOTAL VOLUME OF DRUG =13mL THE FORMULA FOR DOSE CALCULATION IS DCDESIRED DOSE) X VOLUME - DOSE HCDOSE IN HAND). 100 mg x lmL = 6.2 mL soomg 6.2 mL OF DRUG CONTAINS TIMENTIN 3.lg. THUS D, THE AMOUNT OF a TIMENPIN WILL BE ADDED TO THE BURETOL IS 6.2m1

b) amount of diluent to be added is 93.8 mL of NSS

9.6) GIVEN DATA POTAL AMOUNT OF SOLUTION TO BE GIVEN is 100 mL NSS. 11 SHOULD CONTAIN MEDICATION AND NSS. THE MEDICATION TIMENTIN 6. 2mI AND THE REMAINIG NSS. TOTAL AMOUNT ORDERED = 100mL AMOUNT OF MEDICATION = 6. 2mL THUS THE VOLUME OF DILUENT SHOULD BE = 100mL = 6.2ml THUS, THE DILUENT - 93.8 ML TO BE ADDED IS 93.8mL OF NSS.

c) The Iv drip Rate should be 8 gtts / minute

9. c) GIVEN DATA TIME TO BE INFUSED =2 hours -2x60 minutes = 120 minutes = 10gtt/minutes DROP FACTOR THE RATE OF FLOW PER MINUTE TO BE CALCULATED THE FORMULA IS TOTAL VOLUME Ex DROP FACTOR TIME IN MINUTE = FLOW RATE too mL x 10 gtt = 8.33 drops / minute 120 minutes S =8 drops Iminute THUS THE IN DRIP SHOULD RUN 8.33 OR 8 drops/min or 8ght / minute.
