Math
1.Basic dosage
Desired/Available * Quantity
2.Formula: IV DROP Rate
Volume (mL)
x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min)
Time (min)
Example: Calculate the IV flow rate for 1200 mL of NS to be infused in 6 hours. The infusion set
is calibrated for a drop factor of 15 gtts/mL.
Volume (mL)
x Drop Factor (gtts/mL) = Y (Flow Rate in gtts/min)
Time (min)
Convert 6 hours to minutes.
min ← hr ( x by 60 )
6 hr x 60 = 360 min
1200 mL
x 15 gtts/mL = 50 gtts/min
360 min
3. Formula: IV ml rate
Ordered Per Hour
x Volume (mL) = Y (Flow Rate in mL/hr)
Have
Example: Give patient 500 mg of dopamine in 250 mL of D5W to infuse at 20 mg/hr. Calculate
the flow rate in mL/hr.
Ordered Per Hour
x Volume (mL) = Y (Flow Rate in mL/hr)
Have
20 mg/hr
x 250 mL = 10 mL/hr

SBAR is an acronym that correlates to:
Situation: Brief statement of the problem or issue being addressed
EX: Hello, Dr. Jones. This is Steve, the registered nurse caring for Ms. Sandra Williams in
Room 732 on South Wing. I am contacting you because she arrived from the post-anesthesia
care unit (PACU) and has not voided in more than 6 hours. Vitals will be here also
Background: Data related to the current situation
EX: She was admitted to the hospital this morning, and you performed a lumbar laminectomy
this morning for a herniated disc at L4–L5.
, Assessment: Summary of causes, significance, severity of situation
EX:Ms. Williams is complaining of inability to void. According to her operative reports, she
received 1,500 mL of IV fluid during the surgical procedure and in the PACU, and the
indwelling catheter was removed prior to transfer from the PACU 6 hours ago; at the time, she
had 800 mL of urine output. She has received an additional 250 mL of IV fluid since arriving on
the unit.
Recommendation: Specific actions needed to address the situation
EX: I recommend that an intermittent catheterization be performed at this time.
