Hello, i'm having a hard time organzing the calculations when it comes to rate mL/h. I already solved this problem but I need your help to confirm if my calculations were correct. I would appreciate if you can add step by steps in order for me to understand it better, thank you!

Order: Pulmocare 480 mg daily via PEG over 6 hours, followed by 50 mL sterile water flush.

 

1. The Pulmocare label states 100 mg/100 mL. At what rate in mL/h will you set the feeding pump to administer the Pulmocare?

2. Calculate the total amount of enteral fluid the patient will receive in 24h

3.  How many milliliters of IV fluids is the patient receiving in 24h?

What we want= Pulmocare 480 mg daily via PEG over 6 hours, followed by 50 mL sterile water flush.

What we have =100 mg/100 mL

Therefore to get 480 mg, we need

100mg in 100 mL

480mg= X

X= 480x100/100= 480ml

 

480 mL to go over 6 hours

 

Formula for mL/ hr to be set on the pump= Volume/time
