1. A healthcare provider prescribes a continuous infusion of 0.9% sodium
chloride 250 ml with pancuronium (Pavulon) 25 mg at a rate of 0.1 mg/kg/hour
for a client with coronary artery bypass grafting.The client weighs 78 kg.The
nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many ml/hour
Answer - 78mL/hr
Rationale:
ŸFirst calculate the number of mg the client will receive in 1 hour:
0.1 mg x 78 kg = 7.8 mg/hour.
ŸNext calculate the number of ml containing 7.8 mg of medication:
25 mg : 250 ml :: 7.8 mg : X 25 mg/ 7.8 mg :: 250 ml/X 25X = 1950 X = 78 ml/hour.Ÿ
