An infusion pump is to be used to administer 1550 units/hr of heparin from a solution of 500 mL D5W with 35000 units. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Dopamine is ordered to be administered IV at the initial rate of 5 mcg/kg/min., and may increase by 1 mcg/kg/min. to a maximum of 10 mg/kg/min. The solution is mixed 400 mg Dopamine in 250 mL normal saline. The client weighs 50 kg.
 
  Calculate the initial flow rate in mL/hr and construct a titration table for this order.

Answer to Question 1

22 mL/hr

Answer to Question 2

Rationale : 50 kg x 5 = 250 mcg/min. 250/mcg/min x 60 min/h x 1 mg/1,000 mcg x 250 mL/400 g = 9 mL/h
Global Rationale:

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
