A Doctor prescribes diazepam to a 80kg. It is to be given as 10mcg/kg/hr. You are given an infusion bag that contains 100ml of a 1 mg in 100ml solution. How long will the infusion last at the given dose?
Choose one answer.
a. 1 hour
b. 3.0 hours
c. 1.25 hours
d. 2.0 hours
e. 1.5 hours
This one is a little tricky. First calculate how much you need per hour this equates to 800mcg per hour (80 x 10). You have a solution which is 1mg per 100ml. 1,000mcg per 100ml. Therefore overall, 1,000/800 x 1 hour is 1.25 hours.
