A patient is admitted with septic shock due to a
perforated bowel. Despite fluid resuscitation, the
patient's BP remains 86/30 with a HR 120 bpm and UP of 20 mL per hr. The patient's weight is 76 kg.The following questions pertain to this situation.
A ) Dopamine is ordered to start at a dose of 6
mcg per kg per min, titrate for MAP of 70.
Call if Dopamine is titrated higher than 15
mcg per kg per min. Pharmacy delivers a
Dopamine bag with a concentration of
Dopamine 800 mg per 250 mL. How many
milliliters per hour (mL/h) would the IV
infusion device be set?
B ) The patient's blood pressure does not
respond to the Dopamine. An order for
Levophed, start at 4 mcg/min, titrate for
MAP > 70 mmHg is received. Pharmacy
sends an IV bag with a concentration of
Levophed 2 mg/250 mL NS. Calculate the
mL per h required.
C ) The patient is made NPO and an order
is received to begin TPN. Pharmacy sends
a TPN bag with a volume of 2000 mL. The
nurse would program the IV machine for
what rate to infuse the entire bag of TPN
over 24 hours?
