Nitroglycerin has been ordered to titrate at 15 mcg/min to 65 mcg/min and the rate should be increased by 10 mcg/min every 3 - 5 minutes for chest pain. The solution contains 50 mg nitroglycerin in 250 mL DSW. The patient weighs 154 lb. Round weight in kg to tenths. The nurse will start the IV at muhr to administer the minimum dose. After 5 minutes the patient has not stabilized, so the new adjustments are: New dose: mcg/min New rate on the IV pump: ml/hr After multiple adjustments, the patient has stabilized and the IV pump reads 15 ml/hr.
