Correct Answer is ["10"]
Explanation
IV pump rate (mL/hr) = (units/hr x volume) / total units
In this case, the units/hr is 1,000, the volume is 250 mL, and the total units is 25,000. IV pump rate (mL/hr) = (1,000 x 250) / 250,000
Therefore;
IV pump rate (mL/hr) = 250,000 / 25,000 IV pump rate (mL/hr) = 10
Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 10 mL/hr.
Correct Answer is ["25"]
Explanation
mL = mg / 4 mL = 100 / 4
mL = 25 / 1
This means that the client needs to take 25 mL of the propranolol solution every 12 hours to get the prescribed dose of 200 mg per day
