Question 356987: Allyson is a nurse in the intensive care unit of a hospital. She works with units daily in administering drugs through intravenous (i.v.) tubes. A common dosage for the drug dopamine is 2 to 5 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per minute. She will put 400 milligrams of dopamine into 250 cc (cubic centimeters) of fluid and administer it into a patient through an i.v. tube. At what rate, in cc/hr, should she set the flow to achieve a dosage of 3 micrograms per kilogram per minute into a patient with a mass of 75kg?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! body weight of patient = 75 kg
dosage = of body weight
..
For 75 Kgs. 75*3=
Total dosage =
...
she put 400 mg in 250 cc
1mg = 1000
400000 in 250 cc
1 cc will contain 400000/250 = 1600
...
But dosage is 225 = ? cc
...
0.14 cc/hour should be given.
