A creatinine clearance is done on a patient with the following results: serum creatinine, 0.6 mg/dL; urine creatinine, 102 mg/dL; urine volume, 1650 mL/24 hours; body surface area, 1.93 m2. Based on the information from calculations above, which of the following is the best interpretation of this patient's creatinine clearance results? 1) Within the normal range 2) Above normal, probably because the 24-hr urine collection was not completed correctly 3) Above normal 4) Below normal

A uremic patient has a urine output of 1.8 L/24 h and an average creatinine concentration of 2.2 mg/dL. What is the creatinine clearance? How would you adjust the dose of a drug normally given at 20 mg/kg every 6 hours in this patient (assume the urine creatinine concentration is 0.1 mg/mL and creatinine clearance is 100 mL/min)?
What is the patient's creatinine clearance given the following data? Serum creatinine 0.6 mg/dL Urine creatinine 102 mg/dL 24 hr urine volume 1650 mL Patient's BSA 1.93 m2 1) 195 mL/min 2) 130 mg/dL 3) 93 mL/min 4) 175 mL/min no references, just homework
Erthy is given an intravenous antibiotic (gentamicin) at a dose of 7 mg/kg per day for a period of 7 days. This dose will be assessed after a week and adjusted accordingly. The gentamicin will be administered in 87 mL of Normal Saline (NS) over a time period of 20 minutes. Please answer the following questions: a. How much will Erthy be getting per day in mg based on this order?b. How much volume of the gentamicin (in mL) should be added to the IV bag; the concentration of gentamicin is 10 mg per mL.
An 84 year old male patient has been given a loading dose of digoxin of 298 micrograms in divided doses by intravenous infusion. He has a creatinine clearance (Ccr) of 34 ml / min. What is the maintenance dose (in micrograms) that this patient should receive? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Use the formula provided to calculate the maintenance dose. Maintenance Dose = Peak body stores x % daily loss 100 Where: Peak Body Stores = Loading Dose % Daily Loss = 14 + Creatinine clearance (Ccr) 5
If a patient collects a 24 hour urine specimen with a volume of 1500 mL, and the patient's serum Creatinine is 5 mg/dl, and the urine creatinine is 100 mg/dl, then what is the creatinine clearance in ml/min?
Erthy is given an intravenous antibiotic (gentamicin) at a dose of 7 mg/kg per day for a period of 7 days. This dose will be assessed after a week and adjusted accordingly. The gentamicin will be administered in 87 mL of Normal Saline (NS) over a time period of 20 minutes. Please answer the following questions: How much will Erthy be getting per day in mg based on this order? How much volume of the gentamicin (in mL) should be added to the IV bag; the concentration of gentamicin is 10 mg per mL. By including the volume of the gentamicin solution added to the IV bag (i.e. the volume of the bag will be 87 mL plus the volume of the gentamicin solution), calculate the IV flow rate for this infusion in both mL/min and mL/hr.
A 58-year-old man, who weighs 78 kg, takes a single oral dose of 200 mg ibuprofen. If the volume of distribution of ibuprofen is 0.12 L/kg and clearance is 0.04 L/h/kg, which ONE of the following statements is TRUE? OA. The elimination rate constant of ibuprofen in this patient is 3.00/h. OB. The maximum concentration of ibuprofen in this patient is 0.333 g/L OC The volume of distribution half-life of ibuprofen in this patient is 6.96 L OD. The clearance of ibuprofen in this patient is 2.32 L/h. OE The elimination half-life of ibuprofen in this patient is 2.1 h.

A 72-year-old adult patient who weighs 78 kg is prescribed by the doctor “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” via the peripheral line for a potassium level of 3.3 mEq/L that was drawn this morning. Note: 10 mEq of potassium chloride increases serum potassium levels by approximately 0.1 mEq/.L The concentration of potassium for intravenous administration via a peripheral line should not exceed 40mmol / 500 mL 10 mEq/hr maximum infusion rate; not to exceed 200 mEq dose/24hr Administration rates above 20mmol/hour require cardiac monitoring. How much will the order medication “Potassium Chloride 40meq in 1L to run for 8 hours” raise the patient's potassium level in a day? Is it still within the normal potassium serum levels, which is 3.5–5.0 mEq/L? Does the order comply with the maximum concentration of potassium to be administered peripherally? Does the order’s infusion rate do not exceed the standard maximum infusion rate? Does the order require cardiac monitoring?
A 45-year-old man is being treated with oral levofloxacin for urinary tract infection. The plasma clearance of the drug is calculated as 15.0 L/h. Oral bioavailability of the drug is 75%. Sensitivity analysis of a sputum culture shows a minimal inhibitory concentration of 1 µg/mL for the causative pathogen. The target plasma concentration is 2 mg/L. If the drug is administered twice per day. Which of the following dosages should be administered at each dosing interval to maintain a steady state? (A)300 mg (B) 480 mg (C) 520 mg (D) 600 mg (E) 710 mg
