Give Nitroprusside 5 mcg/kg/minute via continuous infusion for a patient weighing 205 lbs. Nitroprusside is available in a solution of 200 mg in 250 mL D5W. What rate on the infusion pump will deliver the correct dose?

35 ml/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert lbs to kg

205 ÷ 2.2 = 93.18 = 93.2 kg

Calculate the minute rate

93.2 kg x 5 mcg/kg/min = 466 mcg/min

Calculate hourly rate

466 mcg/min x 60 mins/hr = 27,960 mcg/hr

Drug is expressed in mg, so convert mcg to mg

27,960 mcg = 27.96 mg

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
