Answer:
The nurse infuse [tex]26ml/hr[/tex] to provide the dose.
Step-by-step explanation:
Argatroban was ordered at a dose of 2 mcg/kg/min.
JY weighs 85 kg.
So, Argatroban was ordered= [tex]2 \times 85[/tex]
= [tex]170mcg/min.[/tex]
Convert the dose in mg/hr
1 hr = 60 minutes and 1 mg = 1000 mcg
So, Dose in ml/hr = [tex]170 \times \frac{60}{1000}[/tex]
= [tex]10.2 mg/hr[/tex]
Now to find in 250 mL of DSW. JY weighs 85 kg. How many mL/hour should the nurse infuse to provide the dose?
The nurse infuse to provide the dose = [tex]\text{Dose ordered} \times \frac{\text{volume available}}{\text{Dose available}}[/tex]
The nurse infuse to provide the dose = [tex]10.2 mg/hr \times \frac{250 ml}{100 mg}[/tex]
The nurse infuse to provide the dose = [tex]26ml/hr[/tex]
Hence The nurse infuse [tex]26ml/hr[/tex] to provide the dose.
