Homework Answers

Answer #1

41- 1 teaspoon =5ml

1 oz = 30ml aproax

Total fluid intake =7 teaspoon +8 oz

=7 ×5 + 8 ×30

=35ml + 240 ml

=275 ml (approximate)

42-100 unit is constituted by ml.

1unit is constituted by 1/100 ml

35 unit is constituted by 35/100 ml

0.35 ml

43 -one dose =30mg

10mg is constituted by 5ml

So 30 mg will be constituted by 5ml×3 =15ml

1 table spoon =15 ml

Hence answer is 1table spoon.

44- dose of labetalol =10mg

2mg constituted by 10 ml

1mg consist of 5ml.

Volume of deug required for 10 mg =10×5ml

=50 ml

45- dose to be given =250mcg

Concentration given =0.5mg /2ml =0.25mg /ml =250mcg /ml (1mg =1000mcg)

To give 250mcg 1 ml of drug is needed.

46- according to question 5ml of ampicillin is equivalent to 250 mg.

To give 500mg ampicillin we need 2×5ml=10ml drug.

47-3 l of D5 0.9 ℅ saline in 8 hour .

3 l =3×1000 ml (1l =1000ml)

8 hour =8×60 minute.

Rate of iv pump =3000/8×60=6.25 ml /min.

48- flow rate gtt/min =rate ml/min × drop factor

=Rate =100ml/15 min

Drop factor 10gtt/ml

100×10/15 gtt/min

1000/15 gtt /min

=66.67 gtt/min.

59- total fluid to be infused =1litre =1000ml

Rate at which fluid is infused =125ml/hr

Total time required to infuse the fluid =1000/125

=8 hour.

Time when infusiom started =0600 hrs

Time when infusion completed =1400 hours.

Hope this helps. All the best ?
