A calibrated burette will be used to deliver an intravenous medication dosage order of 200 mg contained in 5 mL. This volume is to be diluted in 40 ml and infused over 30 minutes. A 15-ml flush is to follow the infusion. At what rate in milliliters per hour will the infusion need to run to deliver the ordered dose? Record your answer as a whole number.

A 158lb adult male diagnosed with endocarditis has an order for gentamicin 3mg/kg/day IV in 2 divided doses, in addition to vancomycin. The Gentamicin is available in 2 mL vials containing 40mg/mL. The facility protocol is to round the gentamicin dose to the nearest 10mg, then calculate the volume of solution to the nearest tenth mL. How many mL will administer per dose?

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (heaviness) test of a blood sample is often used as a diagnosis of immune disorders and some other diseases. Assuming that the red blood cells are about a sphere with a diameter of (approximately 5 um) and a density (g/ml 1.125), and the density and viscosity of the plasma in which the red blood cells are settled (Pa.s), (1025 kg/m3 10-3 x 1.5) On arrangement and acceleration m/s2 9.81 Calculate the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (settlement rate).
DA-LTE Blood is flowing through a bundle of hollow fiber tubes that are each 50 µm in diameter. There are 10,000 tubes in the bundle. The hollow fiber tube length is 12 cm and the pressure drop across each tube is found to be 250 mmHg. The hematocrit of the blood is 0.40. Estimate the blood flow rate for these conditions in each tube.
Assume that Ali (same patient in question 1) was prescribed vancomycin 1000 mg every 36 hours. After few days, Steady-state vancomycin concentrations were obtained before and after the fourth dose, and the peak concentration (obtained ½ hour after a 1- hour infusion of vancomycin) was 34 µg/mL while the trough concentration (obtained immediately before dosage administration) was 2.5 pg/mL. Compute a revised vancomycin dose for this patient to provide a steady-state peak concentration of 48 ug/mL and a steady- state trough concentration of 17 pg/mL. a. Estimate new rate constant (Ke) and half-life (t1/2) b. Estimate volume of distribution (Vd) using this equation Cmaxss + Cminss C. Calculate the new dose interval d. Calculate the new dose

A physician orders an intravenous piggyback infusion of 100 mL of cefoxitin 1 g to run for 30 minutes. A nurse who selects tubing with a drop factor of 15gtt/min calculates that the solution should infuse at a rate of drops per minute (gtt/min).
A 250 mg per L solution of drug is administered intravenously at a rate of 40 mL per hr to a patient with constant blood volume equal to 5 L. The drug is metabolized by the patient at a rate of 30 % per hr. Assuming the patient had no drug in their system before receiving treatment, how much is found in their system after 55 minutes? Answer BLANK mg (accuracy to at least four decimal places is required so do not round carelessly).
A medication order for a 44-lb pediatric patient calls for vancomycin, 10 mg/kg, to be administered by IV infusion. The lab has a 10-mL injection containing 500 mg of vancomycin. The nurseadds the correct amount to a 100-mL bag of NS a. How many mLs of the injection were added to the bag of NS? b. What is the exact concentration of vancomycin in the resulting IV infusion, in mg/mL?
