Question 1 of 40 :
A client is ordered to receive amiodarone 0.5 mg/min. The supply on hand is 1 g/500 mL of NS. Calculate the flow rate of the intravenous medication _________mL/hr. Round answer to the nearest whole number. Enter numeric answer only.
Correct Answer: 15
Ordered Dose: 0.5 mg/min
Available Concentration: 1 g/500 mL (1000 mg/500 mL)
Convert concentration to mg/mL
Concentration = 1000 ÷ 500
= 2 mg/mL
Convert the ordered dose to mg/hr
Dose per hour = 0.5 mg × 60 min
= 30 mg/hr
Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr
Flow Rate = Dose per hour ÷ Concentration
= 30 ÷ 2
= 15 mL/hr
