Question

A patient is receiving 50 mg of a drug in 200 mL D5W at a rate of 15 mL/hr.

a. Find how many mcg/min this is.
b. If the IV began at 7:35 pm April 10, when will it be complete?

Possible Answers:

a) 62.5 mcg/min; 8:55 am April 11
b) 62.5 mcg/min; 8:35 am April 11
c) 3.8 mcg/min; 8:55 am April 11
d) 3.8 mcg/min; 8:35 am April 11

Answer 1

c) 3.8 mcg/min; 8:55 am April 11

Step-by-step explanation:

So I'm not an expert with Medicine.

50 mg/ 200 ml = 0.25

15 ml/ 1 hr = 15

0.25 x 15 = 3.75≈ 3.8

For the time,

15 ml/ 1 hr =15

200 ml/1 = 200

`(200)/(15)` = 13.33

The closes for time would be 8:55.

I'm sorry in advanced if this is wrong. First time solving a problem for Medicine.
