- A medical doctor gives the order to administer dopamine at a rate of 3.0 mcg/kg⋅min (mcg is the abbreviation for microgram (µg) in a medical context). The dopamine is supplied as a mixture of 400.0 mg dopamine in 250.0 mL of a dopamine solution. The patient weighs 73 kg. What is the infusion rate of the dopamine into her body (in units of mL/hour)?arrow_forwardYou have a patient who weighs 95 pounds. The dosage of a drug is 1.5 mg drug per kg of body mass. The drug comes as a solution that is 5.0 mg of drug per mL of solution. How many cc (cm3) of the solution must be given to the patient? Note that 2.205 pounds of bodyweight is one kg of body mass.arrow_forwardA suspension of pediatric Tylenol is sold as a concentration of the active ingredient is 32 mg/mL. If the dosage is 0.125 g per 45-lb pound body weight, how much is necessary to give a child weighing 85.4 lbs.arrow_forward
- A pediatrician writes a prescription for “diphenhydramine 7.5 mg PO Q 6 hours × 7 days” for a child who experienced an allergic reaction. If each teaspoon of the commercially available syrup contains 12.5 mg of diphenhydramine, what volume of syrup should be dispensed, in milliliters? Round UP to the nearest 5-mL increment.arrow_forwardA prescription for amoxicillin comes in an oral suspension that is 25.0 mg per 1 mL. A patient is prescribed 500. mg every 6 hours. How many milliliters of amoxicillin should the patient take per dose? How many teaspoons per dose? and how many teaspoons per day?arrow_forwardThe normal creatinine levels in adults are 0.6-1.2 mg/dL. If a 5.0-mL sample contains 45 μg of creatinine, is that within the normal range?arrow_forward
- Assume the recommended single dose of an antihistamine for a child weighing 36–47 lbs is 1.50 teaspoons (tsp) . If 1.00 tsp contains 12.5 mg per 5 mL of the active ingredient in the antihistamine, how many milligrams of active ingredient does the recommended dose for a child weighing 36–47 lbs contain? Assume that 1.00 tsp=5 mL.arrow_forwardNitroglycerine, used to treat patients with angina, is prescribed for a patient by IV at a rate of 235 μg/min235 μg/min. The IV bag contains 50. mg50. mg nitroglycerine/250 mL250 mL D5W. How many milliliters per hour should the patient receive?arrow_forwardA patient receives an intravenous (IV) solution that fl ows at the rate of 150 mL per hour. (a) How much fl uid does the patient receive in 20. min? (b) How long does it take for the patient to receive 90. mL of fl uid? (c) If the IV bag holds 600. mL of fl uid, how many minutes does it take to empty the bag? (d) If the solution contains 90. mg of glucose per mL, how long will it take to give the patient 2.0 g of glucose?arrow_forward
- Using factor label calculations, If a patient receives 5.30 mL of 5.00 % (m/v) glucose solution per hour for 48 hours, how many grams of glucose were administered?arrow_forwardA pharmacy technician is asked to dispense 250ml of solution which contains 0.05g/5ml of drug. How many milligrams of drug is needed to meet the needs of this prescription?arrow_forward. The specific gravity of a urine sample at 20°C is 1.016. What is its density, in g/mL?arrow_forward
