Problem 74
Determine the flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for each IV using a microdrip, then indicate \(\mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{hr}\) for a controller. (Consider the medication volume as part of the total dilution volume as shown in the chapter.) A child is to receive 10 units of a medication. The dosage of 10 units is contained in \(1 \mathrm{~mL}\). Dilute to \(30 \mathrm{~mL},\) and infuse in 20 minutes. A \(15-\mathrm{mL}\) flush is to follow. Medication is placed in a burette. Determine the rate in: a. \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) b. \(\mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{hr}\)
Problem 75
Determine the flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for each IV using a microdrip, then indicate \(\mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{hr}\) for a controller. (Consider the medication volume as part of the total dilution volume as shown in the chapter.) A child is to receive \(80 \mathrm{mg}\) of a medication. The dosage of \(80 \mathrm{mg}\) is contained in \(2 \mathrm{~mL}\). Dilute to \(80 \mathrm{~mL},\) and infuse in 60 minutes. A \(15-\mathrm{mL}\) flush is to follow. Medication is placed in a burette. Determine the rate in: a. \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) b. \(\mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{hr}\)
Problem 77
Determine the normal dosage range for the following problems to the nearest tenth. State your course of action. A child weighing \(23 \mathrm{~kg}\) has an order for \(500 \mathrm{mg}\) of a medication in \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) D5W q12h. The normal daily dosage range is 40 to \(50 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{kg}\). Determine if the dosage ordered is within normal range, and state your course of action.
Problem 78
Determine the normal dosage range for the following problems to the nearest tenth. State your course of action. A child weighing \(20 \mathrm{~kg}\) has an order for \(2 \mathrm{mg} \mathrm{IV}\) of a medication at \(10 \mathrm{AM}\) in \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) D5W. The normal daily dosage is \(0.05 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{kg}\). Determine if the dosage ordered is within normal range, and state your course of action.
Problem 79
Determine the normal dosage range for the following problems to the nearest tenth. State your course of action. A child weighing \(15 \mathrm{~kg}\) has an order for \(55 \mathrm{mcg}\) of a medication \(\mathrm{IV}\) q \(12 \mathrm{~h}\). The dosage range is 6 to \(8 \mathrm{mcg} / \mathrm{kg} /\) day q12h. Determine if the dosage ordered is within normal range, and state your course of action.
