A patient is receiving 500 mL of an IV solution. How long will it take to infuse the patient (give them the entire dose intravenously) if the flow rate was set at 35 drops per minute and the drop factor listed on the tubing is 14 drops per mL?

Use the word bank below to complete the following statements. (Terms can be used more than once.) Perfusion flow decrease increase stay the same is the amount of blood moving through an organ, tissue, or blood vessel in a given time (ml/min) is the flow per given volume of tissue (ml/min/g) If you increase the diameter of a vessel, the flow through that vessel will If you increase the length of the vessel, the resistance of that vessel will and the flow will If you reduce the viscosity of blood, blood flow will

An IV infusion of 2000 mL D5W was started for a patient beginning at 6:00 AM and was scheduled to run for 12 hours. However, the flow rate of the IV bag was entered incorrectly into the IV pump. At 11:00 AM, 816 mL of D5W remained in the bag. At what flow rate, in mL/hr, should the remaining fluid be given to the patient to complete the administration of the fluid in the scheduled time?

Order: Magneiusm 100mg/50mL to be infused over 20 minutes. What is the hourly rate?

A nurse is preparing to administer oxytocin 2 milliunits /min by continously IV infusion to a client. Available is oxytocin 10illiunits/mL. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr?

Explain why it is necessary to wash and save erythrocytes in a 290 mUsm /L saline solution rather than in pure water.

on An infusion pump is set to deliver 55 mL/h. What volume would be delivered in the first 170 mins? Answer: I

Your patient has two continuous infusions running. Bag # 1 is Lactated Ringers and the patient is receiving daily hydration of 1.2 liters. Bag # 2 (1000 ml 0.9% NaCl) contains the medication and is labeled as 40mg/30 ml. The patient is receiving 720 mg of medication every 12 hours. How many total ml is the patient receiving every hour?    = 95 ml How did they come up with this answer?

A medication is ordered to infuse at 40 mL/hour. The IV administration set delivers 15 drops/mL. What would be the drip rate in drops per minute for this IV?

You are working a shift from 0900 – 1700. Mr. Loughran has been prescribed 250 mL of D5N/S to run over 5 hours. Infusion is scheduled to begin at 0900 and the IV tubing drop factor is 25 gtt/mL. On hand, you have a 250 mL bag of D5N/S. Show all calculations. a) What is the prescribed drip rate (gtt/min)? (3 marks) At 1100, you observe 120 mL left in the IV bag. b) Is the IV on time, ahead or behind, and by how much? (3 marks) c) What is the new flow rate (mL/hr)? (4 marks) d) Calculate the variance. Is it safe to adjust the flow rate? (3 marks)
