Question

A 27​% solution ​( 27mg per 100 mL of​ solution) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 1,36 L of the solution is given over a 10 ​-hour period. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.
a. What is the flow rate in units of​ mL/hr?
nothing ​mL/hr ​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as​ needed.)
What is the flow rate in per​ hour?
nothing ​mg/hr ​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as​ needed.)
b. If each mL contains 13 drops​ (the drop factor is expressed as ​gtt/mL), what is the flow rate in units of​ 13gtt/hr?
nothing ​gtt/hr ​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as​ needed.)
c. During the 10 ​-hour ​period, how much is​ delivered?
nothing mg ​(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest thousandth as​ needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

(1.36 L)/(10 hr) = (0.136 L)/(hr)

Flow rate = (0.136 L)/(hr) × (1000 mL)/L = (136 mL)/(hr)

136 mL × (27 mg)/(100 mL) = 36.72 mg

Delivery rate = (36.72 mg)/(hr)

b.

(136 mL)/(hr) × (13 gtt)/(mL) = (1868 gtt)/(hr)

c.

10 hr × (36.72 mg)/)hr) = 367.2 mg
