Calculate the flow rate: ________. 
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
19 mL/h
1,000 mcg : 1 mg = x : 1.5 mg
x = 1.5 × 1,000 mcg
x = 1,500 mcg
Concentration of solution is 
Convert weight to kg:
1 kg : 2.2 lb = x : 142 lb
x × 2.2 = 1 kg × 142
x = 64.54, rounded to 64.5 kg
Determine desired dose:
D = 0.03 mcg/kg/min × 64.5 kg
D = 1.935 mcg/min, rounded to 1.9 mcg/min
Determine mcg/h:
Calculate amount to administer:
H = 6 mcg; Q = 1 mL; D = 114 mcg/h
A = 19 mL/h
