Question

a nurse is given instructions to give a nitroglycerin drip at 25 mcg/minute. the nitroglycerin is mixed at 60 mg per 600 ml. the flow rate needs to be in ml/hr. complete parts a through c. recall that 1000 mcg = 1 mg. a) what is the dosage in milligrams per minute (mg/min)?
\boxed{} mg/min (type an integer or a decimal.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mcg to mg

We know that \(1000\ \text{mcg} = 1\ \text{mg}\), so to convert \(25\ \text{mcg}\) to mg, we divide by 1000.
\(25\ \text{mcg} = \frac{25}{1000}\ \text{mg}\)

Step2: Calculate the value

Simplify \(\frac{25}{1000}\) to get the dosage in mg/min.
\(\frac{25}{1000}=0.025\)

Answer:

\(0.025\)
