Use only the bag concentration, weight, ordered dose, pump rate, and titration change in each question. Do not select a target dose, maximum dose, concentration, or titration interval. Practice scenarios only. Do not use for patient care.

  1. 1.

    Unit-based drip → rate

    Use the supplied unit-based order and bag concentration to calculate the electronic pump rate in mL/hr.

    Concentration:
    Order in units/hr:
    Pump rate:
  2. 2.

    Critical drip time remaining

    Estimate how long the supplied remaining volume will infuse at the current programmed rate. Express the answer in hours and clock minutes.

    Decimal hours:
    Hours + minutes:
  3. 3.

    Weight-based drip → rate

    Use the supplied bag, patient weight, and ordered dose to calculate the electronic pump rate in mL/hr.

    Concentration:
    Pump rate:
  4. 4.

    Fixed-dose drip → rate

    Use the supplied non-weight-based order and infusion concentration to calculate the pump rate in mL/hr.

    Concentration:
    Pump rate:
  5. 5.

    Fixed-dose drip → rate

    Use the supplied non-weight-based order and infusion concentration to calculate the pump rate in mL/hr.

Medication dosage

(desired ÷ have) × quantity

Check: Use the same dose unit for the order and the supply.

IV drip rate

(mL × gtt/mL) ÷ minutes

Check: Use the drop factor on the tubing package.

Infusion duration

volume ÷ mL/hr

Check: Convert the decimal part of an hour to minutes.

Weight-based drip

(dose × kg × 60) ÷ concentration

Check: Convert the bag amount from mg to mcg before you calculate.
