You are the RT, called to the Emergency room, for a patient who needs a continuous nebulizer treatment of albuterol for a patient with status asthmaticus. The doctor has ordered 20mg of albuterol over 2 hours. In the Pyxis, there are 1.25mg unit doses of albuterol available. How many unit dose vials of medication will you have to place in the nebulizer to administer what the doctor has ordered?
