A drug has been ordered for an adult weighing 68.6 kg to titrate at 8-12 mcg/kg/min. The solution available is 500 mg in 250 mL. Calculate the dosage range in mcg/min and flow rate range in mL/hr.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Order: NS 1,000 mL IV stat. at 125 mL/h for eight hours. Because the drop factor is 10 gtt/mL, the initial flow rate was correctly set at 21 gtt/min. After four hours, 600 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is behind schedule.
 
  Compute the new flow rate in gtt/min. so that the infusion will finish on time. If flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25 of the original rate, to what rate would you reset the drip rate, or would you contact the prescriber instead? 1. Contact the prescriber.
  2. 25 gtt/min.
  3. 150 gtt/min.
  4. 23 gtt/min.
