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

- A patient was receiving an antibiotic as a constant rate infusion at an infusion rate of 22.01 mg/h. After six times the half life of this drug, the infusion was terminated and the plasma drug concentration was determined as 3.63 mg/L and 2.79 mg/L at 5.1 hours and 8.52 hours, respectively, following the termination of the infusion. The patient started displaying lung infection symptoms again and this antibiotic was to be administered via constant rate IV infusion again.
