The octreotide drip is started at 1400. after infusing at the ordered rate for 2 hours, the prescriber asks the nurse to titrate up to 50 mcg/hr. how many total hours will the initial bag last? (answer must be numeric; no units or commas.)
You just have to divide 1400 divided by 50 mcg which is equal to 28. This is just simply because once you get the quotient, then you will get the number of hours needed for the initial bag to last.
