1. Your patient is admitted from the Emergency Department with a dopamine infusion running at 16 ml/hour. The dopamine bag is labeled as 400 mg dopamine in 500 D2W. Your patient weighs 50 kg.
Calculate the dose the patient is receiving. Your answer should be in mcg/kg/minute.
Since dose=rate*concentration, and 1 mg = 1,000 mcg,
=4.27 (mcg/kg/minute.)
