patient is to receive morphine sulfate 2mg per hour by continuous intravenous infusion for pain control. The intravenous solution contains 10mg of morphine sulfate in 50ml of 5% dextrose in distilled water. For the patient to receive 2mg of morphine sulfate per hour, the infusion pump should be set to deliver how many milliliters of solution per hour?

If you are trying to set the pump by yourself and don't know how to do this. DON'T. call a home health agency or whoever put the pump in the house with the patient.  If this is a school test question, then I can't help you. Read your book.

I am certified nurse assistant and from my experience I would have gave her an IV to help replenish the fluids. Confusion is often a result from dehydration also. Also I would have given her a blood and or straight cathed her (place a temporary in and right out catheter) to get a little urine since she was dehydrated I am sure she wasnt producing much if any. test just to see how far dehydrated she was so I would know the correct amount of fluids to place in her IV. She should never have been sent home like that. I see medical malpractice honestly. I am sorry for your loss.

Yes, it is true that the density of a solution is different of solvant but tjis difference is small ; So , i propose to dissove 40g of amyl acetate in a liter of water if that acetate is a solid. If that acetate is aliquid the total volume will be 1.04 l and you must use 47 cc tp water

No but if need be you should do it. because the Intrathecal pump is a medical device used to delivery very small quantities of medications to the spinal fluid. Medications such as morphine or baclofen may be delivered in this manner to minimize side effects associated with oral medications, since the amount of medication needed to achieve therapeutic efficacy is much less than that required by the oral route.\n\nIntrathecal pump consists of a metal pump, which stores and delives the medication, and catheter, which delivers the medication from the pump to the intrathecal space where the medication takes effect. Two types of pumps are available: constant rate pump delivers the medication at a constant rate, and programmable pump delivers the medication according to a rate determined by a computer program which is changeable.\n\nIntrathecal pump is an implantable medical device and requires a surgical procedure. A surgeon usually performs a trial intrathecal injection or a temporary intrathecal pump to determine if the patient's symptoms improve. A permanent intrathecal pump is implanted if the patient derives at least 50% improvement in his or her symptoms. Complications include infection and bleeding during the surgery, spinal cord injury during the surgery, catheter fracture or migration, and in extremely rare cases, death during the surgery or from withdrawals or overdose from medication.\n\nIntractable pain and spasticity in patients who cannot tolerate oral medications are potential candidates for an intrathecal pump.

hard to believe they are not draining water from her. I would suggest a new doctor.\nCan she live? Why would she want to?\nWould you want to, under these circumstances?\n\nIf she is on morphine....this is the last effort.\nI hate to tell you this. but. Once you start morphine, you can NOT stop it. The doctors already know her outcome. Thats why she is on it.\n\nI truely am sorry.

something is wrong here:\n I think it is 15mg of solute or medication in one teaspoon of antibiotic so 15mg convert to tsps will be about one or two drops of antibiotic per 12 hours.\n\nusing the volume  of water as a  standard  reference  point:\n\n volume of 1 teaspoon  = 4.93cm^3\n\ndensity of water = 1g/cm^3\n\nmass = volume* density = 4.93g\n\n1 gram = 1000mg\n\n\n 4.93g(1000mg/1g)= 4930mg\n\nso,\n\n\n 15mg ( 1 teaspoon / 4930mg) = .003 teaspoon/per12hrs\n\ncheck your label again to see if it is a solid pill like\nST. JOSEPH 81 MG TAB by the way  I have an old label and it said on it that 12.5mg equal  5ml about one US teaspoon by mass.

Use the equation M1V1 = M2V2\n\nM1 is the molarity of the HCL or 9.9 M\n\nV1 is the first volume of 102 ml but it needs to be changed to Liters. So it is 0.102L\n\nV2 is the total volume of the final solution so 525 ml (0.525 L) + V1 or 0.102L = 0.627\n\nM2 is what you are looking for - the final concentration or molarity.\n\nRearrange the equation to ((M1)(V1)) / (V2)  = M2\n\n(0.102L)(9.9M) / (0.627) = 1.61 M\n\nHope this helped!

We can solve this using a system of equations.\n\nLet x be the volume of the 25% solution. Let y be the volume of the 60% solution.\n\nThe sums of the volumes must total 140 ml:\n\nx + y = 140.\n\nThe mass of CuS04 in the desired solution must equal the amounts added through the use of both solutions.\n\n30 percent of 140ml gives 42 ml of "pure" copper sulfate solution.\n\nThe 25% solution would contribute .25x of "pure" copper sulfate solution. The 60% solution would contribute .60y of "pure" copper sulfate solution, so:\n\n0.25x + 0.60y = 42.\n\nHere is the system:\n\nx + y = 140\n0.25x + 0.60y = 42\n\nThere are many different ways to solve the system. I'll use substitution here:\n\nx + y = 140, so y = 140 - x\n\n0.25x + 0.6(140 - x) = 42\n0.25x + 84 - 0.6x = 42\n-0.35x = -42\nx = 120\ny = 20\n\nSince x is the amount of 25% solution and y is the amount of 60% solution, we need 120 ml of 25% solution and 20 ml of 60% solution.\n\nThis appears to match your answer!

Giving an intramuscular injection of a drug in a means of getting it into the bloodstream.  It is a slow means, slower than intravenously, but faster than taking a medicine by mouth.  Giving blood won't affect your supply of the drug very much, minuscule.  And there is little fear of any drug staying in the blood to be given to another person since the part of the blood that carries the drugs, the serum, is separated from the red blood cells before donating it to another person

25mg is the minimum dosage. It also comes in 50mg and 100mpg dosages (all are the same price per tablet by the way). Since you are on the low dosage, I can't see much harm in taking a couple of them at different times in the day once in a while if you need them and don't get any extra side effects. Best to see your doctor to be sure though!

Remember that volume x concentration = mass.  Also remember the ratios you get from the chemical equation.  In this case, 1 mol of H2SO4 is required to react with 2 mols NH3.  The calculation sets up like:  \n\n(0.44 M NH3)(0.194 L)(1 mol H2SO4/2 mol NH3)/(0.17 M H2SO4)

If you mean ml (milliliters), mg (milligrams) and cm^3 (cubic cm), I can help you.\n\n1 cubic cm = 1 millileter = 1 gram (1000 mg) of water.\n\nThe following flows are all equivalent:\n7000 ml/hr\n7000 cu cm/hr\n7000 grams/hr\n7000000 mg/hr\n\nI think I've answered your question, but if you have more details, please add them to your question.

The dilution formula is:\n\n(M1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of the stock solution; M2 and V2 are the concentration and volume of final solution.  M1 and M2 should be in molarities; V1 and V2 should be liters, but it doesn't matter as long as they're the same units)\nM1V1 = M2V2\n(12.0 M)(V1) = (2.50 M)(250.0 mL)\nV1 = 52.1 mL\n\n(C)

The boards like to try to trick you into the wrong answer. For example if you have a patient that has been in the hospital for a while and their labs, PFT's, and blood gases have improved and are normal, what do you do? Your choices will include many things such as send the patient home, and refer to cardiopulmonary rehab. Always choose rehab!! They try to make you think that the patient is okay with the values that they give you but if rehab is a choice that's the one you want to pick!! Make sure to read the answer carefully! One word could change the answer. Also read all of the answers. There may be more than one correct answer, you need to pick the BEST correct answer. Many times they will put the best answer on bottom and people will get to "b" (it's multiple choice) and pick that one if it's correct and the one they wanted you to pick is "d". There is no formula for peak flow you just have to know your normals. Male 20-30 years old is about 10 L/sec. and female is about 7.5 L/sec.There is usually an insert in the peak flow meter package with a chart for this information. Peak flow decreases with age and obstructive disorders. Not sure what you want to know on the CO2. Are you asking how much the body produces? How much the body eliminates? How much is in the blood?

Yes, you are correct.\nEveryone else who has posted so far is mistaken.\n\nGiven:\nM = mol of solute / liters of solution.\n\nFirst Step:\n\nSolving for x (liters of solution), you get:\n.40 / .096 = x\nx = 4.167 L\n\nSecond step.\nL => mL\n4.167 / 1000 = 4,167 ml or app. 4000 mL\n\nYour answer is approx. correct because you were asked for mL of water, which you found, not L of solution, which everyone else seemed to think.  You may lose points for not solving to the correct amount of significant figures though.

If this is in Normality;\n\n0.1 Normal solution of  NaOH\n2 grams of NaOH  in a liter = 0.05 N\n\nN = weight in grams divided by MW (molecular weight ) = 40 / valence =1 / 1 liter. = 0.05\n\nMW = (Sodium) 23 + 16 (Oxygen) + 1 (hydrogen) = 40\n\nTherefore: Using the formula N1V1 = N2V2\n(0.1)( X) = (0.05) ( 1 liter)\n\nBy cross multiplication:\n\nX = (.0.05) ( 1) divided by ( 0.1) \nX =  0.5 liters or 500 milliliters\n\nbecause  1,000 ml = 1 liter\n\nYou will get the same answer for Molarity because the valence is one.\n\nso the answer is 500 milliliters.
