IV rate calc. HELP PLESE!!

This is the whole question.... I am so confused also. Hope someone gets it lol and can explain it

Esme12 that was my first thought. They give you information that does not apply to the question/answer. I think the 130mls NGT is to throw you off.

The ordered rate is 50ml/hr. The fluids have been running at 75ml/hr. I agree the NG output is superfluous. My answer would be that the rate should be adjusted to the ordered 50ml/hr.

I read it that way too exp626. If the ordered rate is 50mL/hr than that is what you would run it at.

Your patient has been getting fluids at 75cc/hour. He (not they) is prescribed (not ordered) to have IV fluids at 50cc/hour. He has blue shoes and someone has used red polish on them, and it is raining; there is a puddle under the windowsill you estimate to be about 67cc. At what rate do you set the IV pump for the next four hours? Answer, 50cc/hour. Same answer if he moves to a different room, has a sex change and is now a she, or she ties bowlines in her NG tube and it doesn't drain anything.

Except that it's Tuesday and the Blood Moon was last month. And the patient weighs 85 kg and is getting Rocephin, 1g, IVPB q24 hours. The physician ordered NS at 50 mL/hr (banish those unapproved abbreviations!!) but you only have a 250 mL bag... now what's the rate? What if it turns out that the patient only weighs 70 kg... now what's the rate?

How 'bout on the third Tuesday of odd numbered months of even numbered years?

What if the patient doesn't like chocolate or loves brussels sprouts?

What's the rate now?

The rate was 75 mL/hr and will be 100 mL/hr but for now is ordered to be 50 mL/hr... what's the rate?

What if the patient has a massive, runny, stinky code brown?

What if the nurse has a BSN, what then?

Do my instructors hate me because I'm beautiful?

What's the rate if the nurse is an ugly hag instead of a beautiful princess like me?

OMG, dear heart, you made me laugh out loud. I hope we aren't confusing anybody out there. I mean, how do I factor in the negative value for chocolate if I have to use dimensional analysis!? Does the brown in the Code Brown cancel it out? It's output, right? Help!
