Give Nitroprusside 5 mcg/kg/minute via continuous infusion for a patient weighing 205 lbs. Nitroprusside is available in a solution of 200 mg in 250 mL D5W. What rate on the infusion pump will deliver the correct dose?

35 ml/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert lbs to kg

205 ÷ 2.2 = 93.18 = 93.2 kg

Calculate the minute rate

93.2 kg x 5 mcg/kg/min = 466 mcg/min

Calculate hourly rate

466 mcg/min x 60 mins/hr = 27,960 mcg/hr

Drug is expressed in mg, so convert mcg to mg

27,960 mcg = 27.96 mg

step-by-step explanation:

f

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
