WEEK 7 ABX Flashcards
There is a risk for __ when taking birth control pills.
clots
Viagra causes __ and __.
hypotension; headaches
What is the first step for calculating the hourly flow rate of an IV medication order?
- Calculate the dosage flow rate
Dosage on hand/Amount of solution on hand desired per min
=
Dosage desired per min/ X amount
What is the second step for calculating the hourly flow rate of an IV medication order?
- Take the dosage flow rate and multiply it by 60 minutes per hour to get the hourly flow rate
ml/min X 60 min/hr = ml/hr
Calculate the hourly flow rate:
ORDER: Lidocaine 2 GM IV in 500 ML D5W at 2 MG/MIN via infusion pump
dosage flow rate = 0.5 ml/min
hourly flow rate = 30 ml/ hour
Calculate the hourly for an IV med ordered per kg per minute:
ORDER: 250 mL of IV solution with 225 mg of a medication to infuse at 3 mcg/kg/min via infusion pump for a person who weighs 110 lb
- Dosage Flow Rate = 0.17 ml/ min
- Hourly Flow Rate =
- 2 ml/ hour
TITRATING IV DRUGS
Order: To induce labor: LR 1000 ml IV with Pitocin 20 units. Begin a continuous infusion IV at 1 milliunit/min, increase by 1 milliunit/min q 15 min to a max of 20 milliunits/min
What is Step 1?
Step 1: Calculate milliunits/ml
Answer: 1 milliunit Pitocin = 0.05 ml
TITRATING IV DRUGS
Order: To induce labor: LR 1000 ml IV with Pitocin 20 units. Begin a continuous infusion IV at 1 milliunit/min, increase by 1 milliunit/min q 15 min to a max of 20 milliunits/min
What is Step 2?
Find flow rate in ml/hr to infuse 0.05 ml/min
(1 milliunit pitocin/ min)
Answer: set infusion pump at 3 ml/hour to infuse piton 1 milliunit/min as ordered
TITRATING IV DRUGS
Order: To induce labor: LR 1000 ml IV with Pitocin 20 units. Begin a continuous infusion IV at 1 milliunit/min, increase by 1 milliunit/min q 15 min to a max of 20 milliunits/min
What is the Maximum flow rate in ml/hour that piton infusion can be set for the titration as ordered?
Answer: Rate of 60 ml/hour will deliver 20 milliunits/min
