Fiance is very smart. Graduated from Loyola with a 4.0. She's in nursing school but is having problems figuring this problem out. Need your help.
Order: Epinephrine 1mcg/kg/min continuous IV infusion
Available: 1mg in 500 ml D5W (2mcg/ml)
Patient Weight: 70kg
The nurse will set the IV pump to deliver how many mls/hr?

I am thinking this is something she really needs to learn and understand, but I could be wrong...

Sorry forgot to give you the answer. The answer is .43 ml/hr. We just can't figure out how to get there.

Sorry...she doesn't have makeup on while studying
Posted on 3/16/14 at 6:05 pm to couv1217
maybe she knows the answer but is using this as an excuse not to have sex

She might want to rethink nursing school if she can't figure out simple drug dosing questions.

this person dying or what?

While you're figuring this out for her, she's banging a guy in her class.

I feel like this can be done with simple unit canceling

So patient needs 70 mcg per minute. So at a concentration of 2 mcg/mL they need 35 ml per minute. So that would be 2100 ml/hr. So the correct answer is get a solution with a higher concentration of epi. Also your patient is essentially dead if they are requiring that kind of press or support.
