If I get this wrong, I'm blaming the exam writers for not including the conversion factors. What is this, amateur hour?

I'm gonna go with C) 25.9 mls/hr. It's the only one that doesn't make me scratch my head and go 'really?'

Hmm, A) 86 mls/hr seems a bit high. Maybe the patient weighs more than 115kg in real life? Better not assume anything!

B) 13 mls/hr? That can't be right, the patient would be underdosed. Unless they're trying to trick us with a 'trick question'...

E) 7 mls/hr, really? That's way too slow for a critical medication like Milrinone. Better double-check that one.

I agree with Joseph, because the calculation is 0.75mcg/kg/min x 115kg x 60min/hr / 20mg/100ml = 86 mls/hr.

D) 43 mls/hr looks good to me. Can't be too hard to figure out the right amount of this super-fast-acting drug, right?
