8 Answers
please can anyone help with the following!
You have a patient who weighs 100kg. He requires an antibiotic administering intravenously via an infusion. The antibiotic comes in bags that contain 200 mgs in 200mls. The prescription asks for 2mg per kilogram of bodyweight. The instructions for administration state the infusion should be given at a rate of 200mgs over 60 minutes.
What hourly rate do you need to programme into the infusion pump?
thanks!! Julie

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.That's why i thought the question seemed odd because the answer at every stage is 200-he needs 200mg (100 x 2 mg) for his weight of 100kg; that equates to 200ml based on the concentration in the bag; so to give 200mg or 200 ml at 200mg per hour means he needs the drip for an hour.
But the hourly rate you asked for has already been stated in the question at 200mg over 60 mins
