re: Calling LSUNURSE, other nurses, or mathematicians

0.43ml per hour is dead wrong!

The answer is 2100ml/hr but infusing D5W at that rate would cause significant problems as it is a hypotonic solution and would cause hemolysis. Basically the question is flawed.

med math questions usually are shite

True. It's obvious these questions are written by non-clinicians.

She's getting the same answer everyone is 2100 ml/hr but the answer on her worksheet says .43 so after talking with the intelligent people of the OT (minus LSUNURSE) and her classmates, we have concluded the worksheet answer is wrong.

Isn't it something like 70x2.2 and then 500 x 1 divided by 60 or some crap? 
Or divided by 2.2?
Or divided by 2.2?

It doesn't always follow that the answer provided is the correct one. Enough people in this thread say 2100 per hour that I would doubt the validity of the answer the worksheet gives.

I'm no mathematician or nurse, but it looks like this doesn't exactly involve higher level math to solve. I have coworkers that complain about doing math when all it involves is entering stuff into a simple a*b*c = d equation. You have a calculator in your pocket, for heaven's sake.

Not in the medical field but can't you just arrange it so the units are right?

Yep

you think those answers are flawed, check out the walraven basic arrhythmias book.. seems to be a common issue here with medical workbooks

question is probably written by some grad student bitch who doesnt give a shite bc the prof doesnt give a shite.
Thats how it usually goes.

Was there a clinical scenario given with the question? Just curious

convert the 1mg in 500 ml to mcg/ml which would be 1000 mcg/500 ml or 2/1, then take the 1mcg * 70 kg (patients weight) * 60 min (in an hour cause were converting) and put it over the 2 mcg / ml. after you multiply it comes out to 4200 / 2 = 2100 ml / hr

Nope. No scenario. Just what I gave you

1 * 70 kg * 60 (min/ 1 hr) / 2 (mcg of epi in 1 ml D5W) = 4200/2 = 2100 ml/hr
That's what I got after I wrote it down

why's it matter, do nurses actually decide dosages irl, i hope not
Some of the dumbest girls I know ended up in nursing school, so that is scary if true
