Homework Statement
Your patient weighs 70 kg the prescription states 0.5 mg/kg/hr. You have a bag of 250 mg in 50 mL. At what rate (mL/hr) will you set the pump?
Homework Equations
I don't think I have to convert the units of this equation, just cancel them out... but I'm not entirely sure.
The Attempt at a Solution
I tested it out, this is how i answered it
0.5/mg/kg/hr X 70kg = 35mg/hr
35 mg/hr X 50ml/250mg (I cancel out mg)
= 7ml/hr
I am not sure if I did this correctly.
