Dоsаge Cаlculаtiоn Questiоns: INSTRUCTIONS: Calculate the following dosage problems and show your work on the scratch paper. You may use your calculator. INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUNDING OFF NUMBERS: 1) Round off gtts / min to the nearest whole number. EXAMPLES: 16.7 gtts / min = 17 gtts / min OR 14.2 gtts / min = 14 gtts / min 2) Round off answers LESS than 1 to 2 decimal points (hundredths). EXAMPLES: 0.035 = 0.04 OR 0.201 = 0.20 3) Round off answers GREATER than 1 to 1 decimal point (tenths). EXAMPLES: 1.65 = 1.7 OR 1.23 = 1.2 4) Round off mL / hr to the nearest whole number. EXAMPLES: 1.4 mL / hr = 1 mL / hr OR 1.6 mL / hr = 2 mL / hr 5) Round off weights in Kg to one decimal point (tenths). EXAMPLES: 30.46 Kg = 30.5 Kg OR 22.32 Kg = 22.3 Kg A client weighing 264 lbs diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome has a Heparin drip infusing at 10 unit/kg/hr. After six hours of infusing at that rate a PTT is drawn by the lab with a value of 48 sec. The heparin is mixed 25,000 units in 500 ml. Using the heparin nomogram (chart) below, what should the nurse program the pump in ml/hr to infuse the heparin gtt at the new prescribed rate? mL/hr PTT less than 35 sec 80 units/kg bolus Increase drip by 4 units/kg/hr PTT 36 to 49 sec 40 units/kg bolus Increase drip by 2 units/kg/hr PTT 50-80 sec NO CHANGE PTT 81 to 90 sec Decrease drip by 2 units/kg/hr PTT greater than 91 sec Hold heparin for 1 hour Decrease drip by 4 units/kg/hr
