I dealt with the same situation my first semester of nursing school. It was a big advantage to me because I knew the staff, where things were and how the units operated. Believe me use it to your advantage it will help you in clinical to perform at a more faster pace than your classmates!

Thank y'all so much for y'all help the answer was 27ml/hr. I see how to fully do the equation now!!!!

Recommended dose: 100-200 mg/kg/day in divided doses every 6 hours to be infused over 20 minutes Supplied: 100mg/ml Patient weighs 59lbs If this is a safe dose, at what rate will you set the IV pump (round answer to the nearest tenth.) My answer (Not completed) Weight: kg=1kg/2.2lbx59lbs/1= 26.818 ----> 26.82kg Dose: 900mg IVPB q6h Rec: 100-200mg/kg/day 100x26.82=2,682 mg/day (low dose) 200x26.82=5364 mg/day (max dose) Safe?: Yes, it is 3600mg/day Answer: 1ml/100mgx900/1=9ml (This is where I stopped at and always get stuck!!!)
