Answer #1

Available dose = 1.5mg / 250ml

1mg. = 1000mcg

Therefore,

1.5mg. = 1500mcg

ie,

1500mcg in 250ml

1ml = 1500mcg / 250ml

1ml = 6mcg

Ordered dose = 0.03mcg/kg/min

Patient weight = 142lb

1lbs. = 0.454kg

Patient weight = 142 0.454= 71kg

Ordered dose = 0.03 71 / min

= 2.13mcg / min

For 1hr. = 2.13mcg 60

= 127.8mcg/hr

ml/ hr. = ordered dose/available dose in 1ml

= 127.8/6

= 21.3ml/hr
