Directions: Calculate the IV medication and infusion rates.Use a calculator for safe dose range calculations,multiplication,and long division as desired.Verify results using DE-style equations where requested.If the order is unsafe,do not proceed with the math.Label answers.
An IV of 1000 mL of D5W contains 400 mg of dopamine HCl.
A)What is the concentration in milligrams per milliliter? (Remember: per indicates division.) Show the data you would enter on a calculator or use a DA equation.
B)What is the concentration in micrograms per milliliter? (Move the decimal point carefully.) Show the data you would enter on a calculator or use a DA equation.

Dopamine HCl

Dopamine Hydrochloride, a synthetic version of the neurotransmitter, used medicinally to treat certain heart conditions and shock by improving blood flow.

Concentration

A measure of the amount of a substance contained in a unit volume of a solution, reflecting the solution's strength or dilution level.

DE-style Equations

Differential Equations (DE) style equations involve mathematical techniques for solving equations that involve derivatives of varying orders.

  • Compute and comprehend the conversion among various units of measurement pertinent to intravenous medication dosage (e.g., micrograms to milligrams, pounds to kilograms).
  • Identify and calculate the concentration of medications within IV solutions.
