You should deliver 219.67 mL/hr

Since the physician has ordered a continuous pain medication to be delivered at 25mcg/kg/hr and the available concentration is 8mcg/ml.

The patient weighs 155 lbs = 155 lbs × 1 kg/2.205 lb = 70.295 kg

We need to find the mcg/hr

How to calculate mcg/hr

So, mcg/hr = mcg/kg/hr × weight of patient in kg

mcg/hr = 25 mcg/kg/hr × 70.295 kg

mcg/hr = 1757.37 mcg/hr

How to calculate mL/hr

The mL/hr = mcg/hr ÷ concentration

mL/hr = 1757.37 mcg/hr ÷ 8 mcg/ml

mL/hr = 219.67 mL/hr

So, you should deliver 219.67 mL/hr
