Questions: You are to infuse 1.5 L of 0.9% saline over 10 hrs. How many ml / hr will you program the pump? convert 1.5 L to mL=1.5 x 1000=1500 mL ÷ 10 hrs=150 mL / hr Pump just broke. Your tubing drop factor is 20 gtt / ml. How many gtt/min will you administer? 150 mL / 60 min=2.5 x 20 gtt+=50 gtt / min You are to infuse 250 mg Ancef q 8 hr to your patient with an infection. The Ancef is diluted in 200 ml 0.9% normal saline. It is to run over 1 hour. How many ml / hr will you program the pump? 250 mg / 200 mL q 8 hrs=200 mL ÷ 8 hrs=25 mL / hr Pump just broke. Your tubing drop factor is 10 gtt / ml. How many gtt / min will you administer? 25 mL / 60 min=0.416660 x 10 gtt+=4 gtt / min Ordered is Famotidine 20 mg in 50 ml 0.9% D5W. It is to be infused over 30 minutes. How will you program the pump in ml / hr ? All pumps are in use so you need to set to gravity. Your tubing drop factor is 15 gtt / ml. How many drips per minute should be given? 100 mL / 60=1.6664 x 15 gtt=25 gtt / min

Solution Steps

1a. To find the infusion rate in mL/hr, convert the total volume from liters to milliliters and divide by the total time in hours.

1b. To find the drip rate in gtt/min, use the infusion rate in mL/hr, convert it to mL/min, and multiply by the drop factor.

2a. To find the infusion rate in mL/hr, divide the total volume by the time in hours.

Step 1: Calculate Infusion Rate for 1a

To find the infusion rate in \(\text{mL/hr}\), convert the total volume from liters to milliliters and divide by the total time in hours.

\[ \text{Total Volume} = 1.5 \, \text{L} \times 1000 = 1500 \, \text{mL} \]

\[ \text{Infusion Rate} = \frac{1500 \, \text{mL}}{10 \, \text{hr}} = 150 \, \text{mL/hr} \]

Step 2: Calculate Drip Rate for 1b

To find the drip rate in \(\text{gtt/min}\), use the infusion rate in \(\text{mL/hr}\), convert it to \(\text{mL/min}\), and multiply by the drop factor.

\[ \text{Infusion Rate} = \frac{150 \, \text{mL/hr}}{60 \, \text{min/hr}} = 2.5 \, \text{mL/min} \]

\[ \text{Drip Rate} = 2.5 \, \text{mL/min} \times 20 \, \text{gtt/mL} = 50 \, \text{gtt/min} \]

Step 3: Calculate Infusion Rate for 2a

To find the infusion rate in \(\text{mL/hr}\), divide the total volume by the time in hours.

\[ \text{Total Volume} = 200 \, \text{mL} \]

\[ \text{Infusion Rate} = \frac{200 \, \text{mL}}{1 \, \text{hr}} = 200 \, \text{mL/hr} \]

Final Answer

  • Infusion rate for 1a: \(\boxed{150 \, \text{mL/hr}}\)
  • Drip rate for 1b: \(\boxed{50 \, \text{gtt/min}}\)
  • Infusion rate for 2a: \(\boxed{200 \, \text{mL/hr}}\)
