amount of drug taken for intended
therapeutic effect?
DOSE
schedule of taking drug
dose?
DOSAGE REGIMEN
volume of medication
containing quantity of drug as listed on drug
label?
DOSAGE UNIT
amount to be administered at
one time?
DESIRED DOSE
Formula of computation of dosage: SOLID
D/S= X
Formula of computation of dosage: LIQUID
D/S x Q = X
concentrated
medications given by IV route
over a relatively brief period of

4 Types of IV Therapy
*IV THERAPY FOR
FLUIDS
*IV THERAPY FOR
BLOOD
TRANSFUSIONS
*IV THERAPY FOR
MEDICATIONS
*IV THERAPY FOR
NUTRITION
number of drops per
milliliter delivered through
various sizes of IV tubing
devices. AKA Tubing
Factor?
DROP FACTOR
rate at
which fluid is delivered
by IV infusion devices,
most often ordered in
whole milliliters per hour
(ml/hr). Ex. PNSS
100mL/hr?
FLOW RATE
main IV line or lines
connected to the
patient.
PRIMARY LINE
tubing that connects to
ports on the primary line
and permits variety of
additional medications
and fluids to be added
without disruption of the
primary line?
INFUSION LINE,SECONDARY
later or
rubber ports located on IV lines
and solution containers to permit
access to injection for additional
fluids or medications
- A port adapter may also be
attached directly to a cannula
that is in a vein (AKA
Heplock/Heparin Lock)?
INJECTION PORT
state of being
open and unblocked such as a
“PATENT IV SITE” or
“PATENT AIRWAY” ?
PATENCY
-IV concentrated,
medicated, intermittent
bolus dose of 1-50 mL,
usually administered by
manual direct injection
with a syringe,
sometimes via infusion
pump?
IV PUSH
gravity
IV infusion tubing set
that has a wide
diameter to deliver
large drops (10-20
drops/mL drop factor)
and fast flow rates.
Usually DP 15 gtts/mL?
MACRODRIP
gravity infusion
tubing set that has
narrow diameter to
deliver small drops
(60 drop/mL drop
factor) and slower
flow rates?
MICRODRIP
Formula for intravenous calculation?
Total amount to be infused in ml X Drop factor/
Number of hours to last X 60 minutes per hour
Formula for Amount to Infuse(ml or cc) per Hour?
amount of solution to infuse in mL/ Number of hours to infuse solution
Formula of IvAmount to Infuse(ml or cc) per Hour?
total volume x drop factor/ gtts/min x 60
