Hi everyone! I have just finished my first semester in Foundations of Nursing and begin next week in Adults 1 (Med-surg1). In order for us to start clinicals we have to pass this math calculations test the first day of class and I am a human wreck trying to figure out some of these problems. If anyone is interested, can you please help me figure them out?
1. Acyclovir 400mg in 100ml of D5W is ordered to infuse over 0.25 hours. The IV tubing delivers 10gtt/ml. The rate of the infusion will be how many gtts/min?
2. A Heparin drip is ordered: 500ml DW with 50,000 unit of Heparin to infuse at 1100units/hour. How many ml/hr will the pt receive?
*p.s. can you explain to me the procedures for figuring out units?
3. 500ml of D5W with 0.5G Theophylline is ordered to infuse at 50ml/hr. How many mg will the pt received per hour?
Thank you so much for your patience, this will really help.
