The nurse initiated insulin infusion for the diabetes mellitus patient at the flow rate of 0.8 ml/hr. The nurse monitors the patient’s blood glucose level one hour later and finds it to be 230. Per the titration order, the nurse will increase the insulin by 0.4 units/hour. Calculate the new flow rate in mL/hr. Round to the nearest tenth. DO NOT ENTER UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. At completion of the loading dose, the nurse will start a continuous infusion of magnesium sulfate at 3 g/hr. The pharmacy provides 1.000 mL of 0.9% NS with 20 g magnesium sulfate. Calculate the IV rate for the continuous infusion in ml/hr. DO NOT ENTER UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. Round to the nearest whole number, Calculate the amount of fluid in milliliters per hour needed to meet the 24-hour maintenance fluid requirement for a child who weighs 72 lbs. Round to the nearest tenth. DO NOT ENTER UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. The healthcare provider prescribes 900 mg of amiodarone in 500 mL D5W to infuse at 0.5 mg/min. Based on this, the patient will receive mL/hr. Use numbers only. Round to the nearest whole number. The healthcare provider prescribes heparin IV at 10 units/kg/hr for a patient weighing 165 lb. The available concentration is 12,500 units in 250 mL of D5W. Determine the flow rate (in milliliters per hour) to use with the infusion device. DO NOT ENTER UNITS IN YOUR ANSWER. Round to the nearest whole number.
