*Solve as a group*
Dose ordered x weight (if weight based) x volume x time / Have (dose of drug you have; must match units in dose ordered)
1. Desired (dose ordered) = 5 mcg/kg/min x (pt weight) 63 kg
2. Have = 400 mg Dopamine; must convert to mcg by multiplying by 1000
3. Volume = 250 ml (volume in IV bag)
4. Also include time conversion of 60 min/hr
Answer: 11.8 ml/hr----this is what the pump must be set at (-round up to 12ml/hr)
