Ati dosage calculation rn maternal newborn proctored assessment 3.2
Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer dopamine 5 mcg/kg/min via continuous IV infusion to a newborn who weighs 4.4 kg and has septic shock. Set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1: mcg/kg/min × 4.4 kg Step 2: mcg/min Step 3: mcg/min × 60 min/hr Step 4:0 mcg/hr ÷ 1000 mcg/mg Step 5:.32 mg/hr ÷ (200 mg ÷ 250 mL) Step 6:.32 mg/hr ÷ 0.8 mg/mL Step 7:.65 mL/hr The IV pump should be set to deliver 1.7 mL/hr.
