Question Answered step-by-step Patient MP has worsening pulmonary hypertension and was admitted toa hospital to start IV epoprostenol (Veletri) therapy. Her dose is titrated gradually. After three days, her current dose of epoprostenol is 13.8 ng/kg/min via continuous IV infusion, which is resulting in dramatic symptom improvement. The decision has been made to continue that dose at discharge and have her return to clinic in 2 weeks. Available Veletri™ Vial: 1.5 mg/vialCalculate (to the nearest whole number) how much epoprostenol in ng/hr PH will be using.Calculate (to the nearest whole number) how much epoprostenol in mcg/hr PH will be using.Assuming a 100mL final volume, calculate the final concentration of the Veletri™ in ng/mL.Using the calculated concentration, calculate (to one decimal place) the infusion rate in mL/hr that will deliver PH’s current dose of epoprostenol.Calculate (to the nearest whole number) the total volume that will be used in 24 hours.Calculate (to one decimal place) how much epoprostenol in milligrams MP will be using in a 24-hour period?Please show your work.      Health Science Science Nursing Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
