Question

The recommended dose of aminophylline for children is 1.0 mg/kg/hr. 15 mL of a 30 mg/mL sltn is added to a 150 mL bottle of D5W. At what rate mL/hr should the injection be delivered to 35 lb child

Answer 1

The answer is "6.68
`\frac{ml} {hr}`".

Step-by-step explanation:

It's going to be 18.18 kg to turn body mass to kg.

Size 1mg / kg / hr, therefore = 1 x 18.18

= 18.18 kg / hr

now we adding 30 mg / ml of dextrose = 30 x 15

`=(450mg)/(15 ml +150 ml)`

of dextrose, from 15 ml to 150 ml;

Therefore, now 450 mg in 165m:

`= ( 450)/(165)\\ \\=2.72 \frac{mg} {ml}`

now divide the 18.18 by 2.72:

`=(18.18)/(2.72)`

= 6.68
`\frac{ml} {hr}`
