 IV Flow and Drug Admin Formulas Test 1

State the formulas:

1. To calculate the flow rate for an IV:

Volume to be infused x Drip Factor

Total time of infusion in Minutes

2. To calculate the weight of a pediatric patient:

(Age x 2) + 8

3. To calculate the kg a pt weighs when you know their weight in lbs:

Pounds (lbs)
2.2

4. To calculate the volume of a drug to be administered:

Desired Dose (mg)

Concentration of drug on hand (mg/mL) = Dosage on Hand

5. To calculate Fahrenheit to Celsius:

Subtract 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9

Or:
Subtract 32, then multiply by 0.555
