Answer:

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min rounded to 17 gtts/min</u>

Explanation:

In order to calculate the flow rate, the following formula will be used.

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

50 mL of fluid in which Ciprofloxacin is dissolved is taken as volume.

<u>KNOWN DATA:</u>

Volume = 50mL

Time = 45 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL

Flow rate = unknown

<u>CALCULATION:</u>

Plugging the known values in the formula,

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

Flow rate = \frac{50}{45} x 15

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min.</u>

How are DNA profiling and blood connected?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Hi there,

They are connected because both of them find identities to someone. All DNA Profiling is, is using either semen, blood, urine, even a strand of hair to test and find whoever left those categories behind. It is used in forensic science that is where they can find the victim's identity or find the suspect.

DNA Profiling and Blood are the same things, in fact, blood IS part of DNA profiling it helps with the testing process in forensic science.

I hope this helped :)
