IVPB dosage calculations

Updated:   Published

One more question I have pertaining to dosage calculations LOL and then I will leave you alone:-) I am not understanding this problem

Physcian Order: Gentamicin 200mg IVPB every 6 hours

On hand: 200 mg in 100 mL D5W to be administered over 30 min.

Thanks again you have been such a great help:-)!:D

By "lockout" I think they mean volume to be infused.

You have the dose, concentration, and rate, so find the volume you would program into the pump for the now infusion and the continuous infusion. I believe the question is directing you to use the same bag.
