A patient is prescribed a fentanyl patch to administer 100 mcg/hour, uses one patch for 72 hours, and then is changed to an intravenous infusion of morphine 8 hours into the second patch. How many mg of the medication did the patient receive while wearing the patch? Record your answer rounding to the nearest whole number.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
320 mg
Fentanyl 100 mcg/hr is equivalent to 4 mg/hr morphine IV. If the first patch was for 72 hours and the second patch was for 8 hours, the patient wore the patch for a total of 80 hours. Multiply the equivalent dose of 4 mg × 80 = 320 mg.
