ok guys need some help..my husband is going to CVT school and is taking a pharmacology class...here are the problems that are stumping us
Order is Levophed 22 cc/hr. drug factor is 0.53 mcg/min. How many mcg of Levophed is the pt getting per hr?
Order is Dopamine 4 (then the symbol is a 0 with a line thru it?). drug factor is 16.6 mcg/min. pt wt is 75 mg. the pump should be set at how many cc/hr?
If anyone can give us the formula we would be grateful! I am a med/surg nurse so I am not good with the ICU calculations and the pump would figure it out for me anyway :)....THanks!
