1.

Calculate the amount of medications to be given using the following stock doses
a. Diclofenac 50mg TID
D = 50 mg H = 50mg V = 1tab
D 50 mg
xV = x 1tab = 1 tab
H 50 mg

b. Paracetamol 300 mg IV every 6 hours

D = 300 mg H = 150 mg V = 2ml
D 300 mg
xV = x 2 ml = 4 mL
H 150 mg

2. Calculate the flow rate of Methylprednisolone during the administration.

V
IV Flow rate= x Drop factor
t
100 ml
¿ x 20 gtts /min
30 mins
= 66.6 – 67 gtts/min = 67 gtts/min

3. Calculate the flow rate of the IV Fluids/ drugs to be given to the patient; as well as the
volume of fluid to be administered per hour.
a. PNSS 1L x 10hrs
V
IV Flow rate= x Drop factor
t
1000 ml
¿ x 20 gtts /min = 33.3 gtts/min or 33 gtts/min
10hr x 60 mins

b. PNSS 1L x 10hrs (volume of fluid to be administered per hour)

V
t (
=Y Flow rate∈
mL
hr )
1000ml
¿ = 100 mL/hr
10 hr
c. PNSS 1L x 8hrs
V
IV Flow rate= x Drop factor
t
1000 ml
¿ x 20 gtts / min
8 hr x 60 mins
= 41.6 – 42 gtts/min = 42 gtts/min

d. PNSS 1L x 8hrs (volume of fluid to be administered per hour)

V
t (
=Y Flow rate∈
mL
hr )
 1000ml
¿ = 125 mL/hr
8 hr
