Question

determine the volume of solution that must be added to a buret to mix the following IV drugs then calculate the flow rate in drops per minute for each administration using a microdrip and indicate the ml/hr setting for a pump
the volume of a 10 mg dosage of medication is 1 ml dilute 240 ML and administer of 50 min

Answer 1

Answer : 288 ml / hr to be set to transfuse 240 ml in 50minutes.

( 240ml x 60 / 50 = 288ml)

4. 8 ml / minute to be transfused.

(288ml / 60 minute)

In micro drip set 1 ml = 60 drops.

So 4.8 ml =60 x 4.8 ml = 288 drops / minute.

capacity of the burette of a micro drip set is 100ml.So 240 ml can be divided in to three 80 ml and 10 mg (1ml)injection can be divided in to three 3.3ml.In each 80ml,3.33ml injection can be added and the pump can be set 288ml / hr.So we can transfuse 240 ml over 50 minutes.
