Question 1 of 5
Give Dobutamine 5.5 mcg/kg/min. The drug is available as 750 mg in 500 ml of fluid. The client weighs 220 pounds. Calculate mcg/min, mcg/hr, and ml/hr. (Include the unit of measure for each answer).
Correct Answer: 22
Rationale: Dobutamine infusion Calculation(ans only):
Client weight: 220 pounds
Dobutamine dose ordered: 5.5 mcg/kg/min
Dobutamine concentration: 750 mg in 500 mL
Conversion factor: 1 mg = 1000 mcg
1 kg = 2.2 pounds
Calculations:
Convert client weight to kg: 220 lbs / 2.2 lbs/kg = 100 kg
Calculate mcg/min: 5.5 mcg/kg/min × 100 kg = 550 mcg/min
Calculate mcg/hr: 550 mcg/min × 60 min/hr = 33000 mcg/hr
Calculate mL/hr: Dobutamine concentration is 750 mg/500 mL, which equals 1500 mcg/mL.
mL/hr = 33000 mcg/hr / 1500 mcg/mL = 22 mL/hr
Answers:
mcg/min: 550 mcg/min
mcg/hr: 33000 mcg/hr
mL/hr: 22 mL/hr
