Question Answered step-by-step Good morning, I am beginning my NUR 112 Fall courses. We were giventhis pharmacology worksheet to complete by tomorrow 12pm, but the storm caused outages so I got no instruction. I’m having trouble completing this form. I wanted to know if I could get help with several different problems below, so that I can follow the method used to complete the other problems and better understand by actually looking at the steps required to complete the different problems and working through them. We did some pharmacology last semester in NUR 110, which were not hard, but these problems seem a little more in depth. 1. An 8 month old with cellulitis of the left eye weighs 7.45 kg. The order is for 750 mg. Nafcillin IV q.6hr. in 100 ml. D5 ½ NSS. The recommended range is 100-200 mg/kg/24 hr. Determine if the order falls within the safe dose range. 2. A 3 week old has otitis media, R/O sepsis. She weighs 5 kg. The physician orders 5 mg. Gentamycin IV q. 8 º in 10 ml. NSS. The recommended dose for full term neonates/infants > 7 days is 2.5 mg/kg/dose q. 8 º. On hand is 10 mg/ml. Determine if the order can be safely administered. 3. A 14 month old with pyelonephritis weighs 9.2 kg. The order is: 400 mg. Ceftriaxone IV q. 12 º in 20 ml. D5 ¼ NSS. The recommended dose for infants and children < 12 yrs. IM/IV is 50-100 mg/kg/24 hr. divided q. 12-24 hr.; maximum dose 4 Gm/24 hr. Determine if the order falls within the safe dose range. 4. An adult who has adrenal insufficiency is ordered dexamethasone sodium phosphate 5mg IM q12h. The patient weighs 100kg, and the recommended daily dosage is 0.03-0.15mg/kg. Determine if the order falls within the safe dose range. 5. The physician orders 100 mg Ampicillin IV q. 6 º in 20 ml. D5W. On hand is Ampicillin 250 mg/mL. How many mL of Ampicillin should be added to the 20mL of D5W? 6. A 10 month old, weighing 19 lbs., is admitted for bronchiolitis, R/O RSV. 80 mg. of Tylenol p.o. q.4hr. prn is ordered for T>101 º. The recommended dose for p.o. is 10-15 mg/kg/dose q.4-5 hr. prn (maximum of 5 doses/24 hr.). On hand is 160 mg/5 ml. How many mL should be administered? 7. A 3 year old with asthma has an IV of D5 ½ NSS with 10 mEq KCl/500 mL at 60 mL/hr. Calculate the number of drops per minute if the tubing’s drop factor is 10 drops/ml. 8. An adult client has 750 mL of D5W left in her I.V. bag. The doctor orders to infuse the remaining solution in 2 hours. Using tubing with a drop factor of 15gtt/mL, calculate the infusion rate in gtt/min. 9. You are to infuse 25mL of Vancomycin over 20 mins on an infusion pump. What is the infusion rate in mL/hr? 10. A liter of D5 ¼ NS is started at 4:30 a.m. at a rate of 25 gtts/min using an infusion set with a drop factor of 20 gtts/ml. Calculate the total time it will take for the I.V. to infuse (infusion time). What time will the infusion be completed (completion time)? 11. An IV of 250 ml is started at 3:15 p.m. and is scheduled to infuse at 50 gtts/min. The drop factor is 10 gtts/ml. Calculate the total time it will take for the I.V. to infuse (infusion time). What time will the infusion be completed (completion time)? 12. An infant weighing 9lb 4oz at birth is being discharged to home today. What is the lowest safe weight for this infant in lbs. & ounces? 13. An infant with a birth weight of 7lb 1oz is going home this am. The nursery nurse checks the discharge weight and finds that the infant now weighs 6lb 12oz. Can this baby go home today? 14. A baby girl is admitted to the nursery. Her birth weight was 3200 grams. What is the lowest safe discharge weight for her in grams? 15. An infant born at 4100 grams is going home today. His weight this am was 3600 grams. Should he go home today with this weight?
