A nurse is preparing to administer dopamine 2 mcg/kg/min by continuous IV infusion for a client who weighs 110 lb. Available is dopamine 400 mg in 250 mL of D5W. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many ml/hr administer? (Round the answer to the nearest
tenth.)

3.7ml/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question

A nurse is preparing to administer dopamine 2 mcg/kg/min by continuous IV infusion

Step 1

The patient weighs 110lb(pounds

Convert the patients weight to kilogram

1 lb = 0.454kg

110lb =

Cross Multiply

110lb × 0.454kg

= 49.94kg

The patient weight = 49.94kg

Step 2

The dosage to to be administered by the nurse = 2 mcg/kg/min

If 1 kg = to be administered 2mcg/min

49.94 kg =

(49.94kg × 2mcg/min)/1

= 99.88mcg/min

Therefore, for the patient's body weight, the patient's dosage = 99.88mcg/min

Step 3

Available dopamine is 400mg in 250ml

We have to convert this to mcg

Hence,

1 mg = 1000mcg

400mg =

Cross Multiply

= 400mg × 1000mcg

= 400000mcg

Hence, the available dopamine is administer in 250ml/400000mcg

Part 3

Since 60 minutes is 1 hour

The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many ml/hr

(99.88mcg/min × 250ml × 60mins)/ 400000mcg

= 3.7455ml/hr

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 3.7ml/hr

85.560%

step-by-step explanation:

conditional probability is defined as:

p(a|b) = p(a∩b) / p(b)

in other words, the probability that a occurs, given that b has occurred = the probability that both a and b occur / the probability that b occurs.

in this example:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64 & turns 44) / p(turns 44).

if someone turns 64, they must have already turned 44, so:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = p(turns 64) / p(turns 44)

on page 42, we see that of the original 100,000, 94944 turn 44, and 81234 turn 64.   therefore:

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 81234 / 94944

p(turns 64 | turns 44) = 0.85560
