A client weighing 196 pounds is ordered to receive midazolam 0.1 mg/kg/hour. The supply on hand is 100 mg/100 mL. Calculate the flow rate of the intravenous medication. Round to the nearest tenths place. Record numerical answers only:

Calculation: Convert the client’s weight from pounds to kilograms Weight = 196 ÷ 2.2 ≈ 89 kg Calculate the ordered dose in mg per hour Ordered Dose = 0.1 × 89 Ordered Dose = 8.9 mg/hr Identify the available concentration Available Concentration: 100 mg/100 mL = 1 mg/mL Calculate the flow rate Flow Rate = Ordered Dose ÷ Concentration Flow Rate = 8.9 ÷ 1 = 8.9 mL/hr
