A solution consisting of 266 mg of dopamine in 28mL of solution is administered at a rate of 12 mL/hr.
1. What is the flow rate in mg of dopamine per hour?
2. If a patient is prescribed to receive 228mg of dopamine, how long should the infusion last?
Solution
So, 12 ml in 1 hour
Now 28 ml contains ----266 mg
1) So, 12 ml would contain --(266/28)*12 = 114 mg per hour
2) So, 114 mg of dopamine would take 1 hour
228 mg would take ----- (1/114)*228 = 2 hours
