Dоsаge Cаlculаtiоn Questiоns:  INSTRUCTIONS:  Calculate the following dosage problems and show your work on the  scratch paper. You may use your calculator.  INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUNDING OFF NUMBERS:  1) Round off gtts / min to the nearest whole number.  EXAMPLES:  16.7 gtts / min = 17 gtts / min  OR  14.2 gtts / min = 14 gtts / min  2) Round off answers LESS than 1 to 2 decimal points (hundredths).  EXAMPLES:  0.035 = 0.04  OR  0.201 = 0.20  3) Round off answers GREATER than 1 to 1 decimal point (tenths).  EXAMPLES:  1.65 = 1.7  OR  1.23 = 1.2  4) Round off mL / hr to the nearest whole number.  EXAMPLES:  1.4 mL / hr = 1 mL / hr   OR   1.6 mL / hr = 2 mL / hr  5) Round off weights in Kg to one decimal point (tenths).  EXAMPLES:  30.46 Kg = 30.5 Kg  OR  22.32 Kg = 22.3 Kg    A client weighing 264 lbs diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome has a Heparin drip infusing at 10 unit/kg/hr. After six hours of infusing at that rate a PTT is drawn by the lab with a value of 48 sec. The heparin is mixed 20,000 units in 500 ml. Using the heparin nomogram (chart) below, what should the nurse program the pump in ml/hr to infuse the heparin gtt at the new prescribed rate?  mL/hr     PTT less than 35 sec  80 units/kg bolus  Increase drip by 4 units/kg/hr  PTT 36 to 49 sec  40 units/kg bolus  Increase drip by 2 units/kg/hr  PTT 50-80 sec    NO CHANGE  PTT 81 to 90 sec  Decrease drip by 2 units/kg/hr  PTT greater than 91 sec  Hold heparin for 1 hour  Decrease drip by 4 units/kg/hr
