Sorry guys, but going through some examples our instructor gave us and am having some difficulty. I may have to post more later on.
1) 0.9 gm of Cordarone in D5W has been prescribed for IV infusion at a rate of 0.5 mg per minute. The IV solution has a total volume of 500ml. The IV should be infused at how many ml per hour?
2) An IV of D5W containing 2 mg of epinephrine and a total volume of 250 ml is to be infused at a rate of 15 mcg per minute. At how many ml per hour will you infuse the IV.
3) An IV of D5W containing 2 mg of Isuprel and a total volume of 250ml is to be infused at a rate of 1 mcg per minute. At how many ml per hour will you infuse the IV
I am sure I am just looking to far into this, but it is just not making any sense to me.
