A continuous drip of an antidysrhythmic medication is ordered at a rate of 2 mg/min. The standard mixture of this medication to yield a final concentration of 2 mg/mL is 1 g of the medication in 500 mL of IV fluid. At what rate in mL/hr should the IV pump be set?

60 mL/hr

Explanation:

The IV pump rate = drip rate/concentration

drip rate = 2 mg/min and concentration = 2 mg/mL.

So, The IV pump rate = 2 mg/min ÷ 2 mg/mL

= 1 mL/min converting minutes to hours, we have

1 mL/min × 60 min/1 hr = 60 mL/hr

So, the IV pump rate = 60 mL/hr
