The following was ordered for an
intensive care patient at the Norman
Manley Memorial Hospital: 2 L of
D5/0.45% NS to run over 24 hours with a
2000 mL IV fluid daily limit.
A prescriber orders an antibiotic infusion
of 1200 units once per day, as IVPB, for 5
consecutive days to be administered
slowly over 60 min. This is to be infused
separately by adding to 100 mL of sodium
chloride injection (0.45%). _The antibiotic
IV solution of strength 25,000 units/500
mL is available to obtain the required
dose. If the IV giving set is calibrated to
deliver 60 drops per milliliter, determine
the flow rate (drops/min) of the
(i) IVPB and
(ii) D5/0.45% NS
