The physician orders 500 mL of NS to (175 x 15)/ 60 = 43.75 = 44
infuse at 175 mL/h for a patient with
vomiting. Tubing drop factor is 15 DROPS NEAD TO BE IN WHOLE NUMBERS
gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate in
drops per minute. __
The physician orders fluconazole 200 100 ml/ .75 hr = 133.3
mg twice a day. The fluconazole is
dissolved in 100 mL of NS and is to be
infused over 45 minutes. Using an IV
controller, how many milliliters per
hour should the fluconazole be
infused? __
Linezolid 600 mg IV once a day is (300x 10 )/ 60min = 50
ordered for a patient. The linezolid is
dissolved in 300 mL of NS and should
infuse over 1 hour. Using tubing with a
drop factor of 10 gtt/mL, how many
drops per minute should the linezolid
be infused? __
A patient on a ventilator has an order 50 mg/ 50 ml = 1 mg/ml
for a continuous midazolam drip at 4
mg/h. The midazolam concentration is 4 mg/ hr = 4 ml/4mg
50 mg/50 mL of NS. Using an IV
controller, how many milliliters per
hour should the midazolam be
infused? __
,The patient has levofloxacin 500 mg 100 ml of NS infused over 60 mins
ordered once daily. The levofloxacin is
available in 100 mL of NS and should 100
infuse over 60 minutes. Using an IV
pump, how many milliliters per hour
should the levofloxacin be infused? __
The patient has vancomycin 750 mg (250 x 10 ) / 60 = 41.7 = 42
ordered once daily. The vancomycin is
available in 250 mL of NS and should ROUND TO WHOLE NUMBER FOR DROPS
infuse over 1 hour. Using tubing with a
10 gtt/mL drop factor, how many
drops per minute should the
vancomycin be infused? __
Linezolid 600 mg IV once a day is 60mins/90mins = .6666667
ordered for a patient. The linezolid is
dissolved in 300 mL of NS and should 300 x .6666667 = 200
infuse over 90 minutes. Using an IV
controller, how many milliliters per
hour should the linezolid be infused?
__
An end-of-life patient has an order for 10 mcg / ml
fentanyl IV at 50 mcg/h. The fentanyl
concentration is 10 mcg/mL. Using an 50 mcg/ 10 mcg = 5
IV controller, how many milliliters per
hour should the fentanyl be infused? __ 5 ml/ hr
, Order: Begin a heparin drip per the 154 lb / 2.2 kg= 70
facility’s protocol. 18 x 70 kg = 1,260 units per hr
The patient’s weight is 154 lb.
Heparin Protocol 250 ml/25,000 = x ml/ 1,260
Bolus: Heparin 80 units/kg. Bolus vial
contains 1,000 units per mL. Infusion: 315,000 = 25,000x
Heparin 18 units/kg/h using a
concentration of heparin 25,000 units x= 12.6
in 250 mL of NS (100 units/mL).
Calculate the number of mL/hr
required to deliver continuous
infusion.
Order: Begin a heparin drip per the 18 x 96 kg = 1728 units per hr
facility’s protocol. The patient’s weight
is 96 kg. 250 ml/25,000 = x ml/ 1728
Heparin Protocol
Bolus: Heparin 80 units/kg. Bolus vial x= 17.3
contains 1,000 units per mL. Infusion:
Heparin 18 units/kg/h using a
concentration of heparin 25,000 units
