A client with cardiogenic shock weighs 220 lb and is receiving
dopamine at the rate of 3 mcg/kg/minute. The solution strength
available is dopamine 400 mg in 250 ml of D5W. The nurse
should set the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hour? (Enter
numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest
tenth.) - CORRECT ANSWER 11.3
First, convert pounds to kg, 220 lb : X = 2.2 lb : 1 kg = 100 kg.
Next, calculate the dosage per minute, 3 mcg/kg/min x 100 kg =
300 mcg/min. Convert mcg/min to mcg/hour, 300 mcg/min x 60
min=18,000 mcg/hour. Convert mcg/hr to mg/hour, 18,000 mcg/hr
= 18.0 mg/hour. Calculate the rate, 400 mg : 250 ml = 18 mg : X
ml 400X = 4500 X = 11.25 = 11.3 ml. So, 18 mg/11.3 ml should
be infused at 11.3 ml/hour.
