Question

If 250 mg of medication in 1 L is administered over 5 hours, how much drug will be administered per hour?

Answer 1

50mg per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that there is a total of 1 liter of this medication being administered, and it has only been 5 hours since treatment has started. If the patient has received 250mg of medication over a span of five hours, you simply divide the amount given by the time:

250/5 = 50

So, the patient has been receiving 50mg of the medication per hour.
