When hanging an IV piggy back, remember that a piggy back is always ________ than a regular IV.
|
A piggy back is always higher than a regular IV.

|
How do you calculate ml/hr? Example 180 mL over 24 hours
|
Total mL ordered
------------------------- = mL/hr Total H ordered 180mL ---------- = 7.5 mL/h 24 hr |
|
|
Name the solution component for the abbreviation listed:
D W S NS NaCl RL LR |
D ~ Dextrose
W~ Water S~ Saline NS~ Normal Saline RL~ Ringers Lactate LR~ Lacated Ringers |
|
|
If the infusion rate is less than an hour, when figuring mL/h what additional step needs to be added to the formula:
Total mL ordered ------------------------- (x) = mL/h Total min ordered |
When the infusion rate is less than an hour, you must multiply by 60min/hr
Total mL ordered -------------------------x 60 min/h= ml/hr Total min ordered |
|
|
What is the formula method to figure out IV flow rate, (gtt/min)
|
amount of solution x d/f
gtt/min=-------------------------------- time in minutes |
|
|
When the drop factor is a microdrop (60 gtt/mL) the flow rate is the same as ________________.
|
When the drop factor is a microdrop (60 gtt/mL) the flow rate is the same as the volume ordered in mL/h
|
|
|
To calculate IV infusion time, what formula do you use?
|
Total volume
-------------------- = total hours mL/h |
|
|
How do you calculate IV fluid volume?
|
mL X total mL
----- = ---------------- h total hours |
|
|
When you see NaCl always use ____ in the formula (unless otherwise stated), when you see Dextrose as a 1/2 use ____ in the formula.
|
When you see NaCl always use 0.9 in the formula (unless otherwise stated), when you see Dextrose as a 1/2 use 0.45 in the formula.
|
|
|
How do you figure out the amount of solute in fluid? Use Detrose 1/2 in 500 mL as an example.
|
First, remember that Dextrose 1/2 is 0.45% in an equation; then turn it into a decimal, 0.45%=.0045, next multiply by the total amount of solution, .0045 x 500ml= 2.25mL of fluid is dextrose 1/2.
