Question

A drug is administered at a rate of 13.5 cL/hour. What is this rate in µL/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

A drug administered at a rate of 13.5 cL/hour has a rate in μL/s of 37.5 μL/s

Explanation:

The given rate at which the blood is administered  = 13.5 cL/hour

The rate at which the question asked to be administered = μL/s

The conversion factor between cL and μL is given as follows;

1 cL = 10,000 μL

Which gives;

13.5 cL/hour × 10,000 μL/cL × 1 hour/(60 × 60 seconds) = 37.5 μL/s

Therefore, a drug administered at a rate of 13.5 cL/hour has an administration rate of 37.5 μL/s.
