1. when using a cane to aid ambulation: step up on the good extremity then place the can and affected extremity on the step. reverse when coming down. (up with the good, down with the bad)

2. in infants, pyloric stenosis = projectile vomiting :barf01:

3. croup: seal-bark cough, dyspnea, inspiratory stridor, irritable. in children considered a medical emergency due to narrowed airway

hi i am happy to be a part of this group.

pharm cal- would u like to try this

calculating flow rate- dose(kg/min) x wt in kgx 60(m/hr)

--------------------------------

concentration of infusion (units/ml)

eg.a client weighs 130lbs and has a dopamine order at 8mcg/kg/min.what rate should the infusion pump be set for a solution of 400mg in 250mls of D5?

rate(ml/ml x concentration(unit/hr

-------------------------------

time 60min/hr xweight in kgs

a client to receive dopamine@12ml/hr, the solution has D5W 250ml/hrmgs of dopamine. she weighs 133lbs

What is the dosage in mcg/kg/min this patient is receiving?

NB:flow rate 12ml/hr

SOLUTION 200MG DOP/250CC D5W. to convert lbs to kgs in weight is 133/ 2.2= 60.45kgs

***find concentration of dopamine in 1cc.

200mg/250mls=xmg/1ml.

x= 0.8mg/ml concentration is 0.8x 1000(mcg per 1mg=800mcg/ml.

12ml/hr x800unit/ml

-----------------

time 60min/hr x60.45{wg in kg)

=2.65mcg/kg/min

Specializes in Just passed the Boards :).

I am also a Dec 08 grad, so this group will be very helpful for me in preparing for my nclex.

After delivery, if the fundus is boggy and deviated to the right side, tge client should empty her bladder.

middle ear hearing loss usually results from otosclerosis.

in clients with glaucom, beta-adrenergic blockers facilitate the outflow of aqueous humor.

treatment for toxic shock syndrome is IV fluid administration to restore blood volume and pressure and antibiotic therapy to eliminate infection.

hope that helps

lets keep this going people:yeah:
