patient prescribed renal dose of dopamine 2 mcg/kg/min. order states dopamine should be titrated to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) above 65 mm Hg and below 95 mm Hg. The patient’s current MAP is 60 mm Hg. Which action by the nurse is accurate?

Increasing the dosage until the MAP is within the parameters

Determining The Rate Of Infusion Of A Titrated Medication

Question	Answer

Which examples are of anticoagulant medications that are titrated?	tPA Heparin sodium
Use dimensional analysis to solve the following. Consider this order: heparin drip: 25,000 units in 500 mL D5W, bolus: 80 units/kg, starting dose: 18 units/kg/hr, patient weight: 70 kg. For a starting dose, this patient should be given mL/hr.	25.2
Use dimensional analysis. Consider patient getting heparin 18 units/kg/hr. weight 70 kg. concentration of heparin is 25,000units in 500 mL D5W. patient’s aPTT 45 seconds. provides bolus per titration order, increases rate of infusion to _____ mL/hr.	28
dimensional analysis. Consider patient getting heparin 18 units/kg/hr. patient’s weight is 70 kg. concentration of current heparin 25,000 units in 500 mL D5W. current aPTT of patient is 110 seconds. new rate of infusion for prescribed heparin is __ mL/hr.	23.8
