Answer 1

A 29​% dextrous solution ​(29mg per 100mL of​ solution) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 3.99L of the solution is given over a 14​-hour period. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (c) below.

a. What is the flow rate in units of​ mL/hr?
If an order was written to infuse a liter of IV fluid every 8 hours, at what rate would the IV pump be set for? Answer is 125 mL/hour.

Answer 2

(a) The flow rate is 285 mL/hr and the flow rate in dexterous per​ hour is 82.65.

(b) The flow rate in units of​ ggt/hr is 3420.

(c) 1157.1 mg

Explanation:

It is given that a 29​% dexterous solution ​(29mg per 100mL of​ solution) is given intravenously.

A total of 3.99L of the solution is given over a 14​-hour period.

(a)

We know that 1 L = 1000 mL.

`3.99L=3.99* 1000=3990mL`

The flow rate in units of​ mL/hr is

`Rate=\frac{\text{Solution Quantity}}{Time}`

`Rate=(3990)/(14)`

`Rate=285`

Therefore, the flow rate is 285 mL/hr .

The flow rate in dexterous per​ hour is

`Rate=\frac{\text{Solution Quantity}* (29)/(100)}{Time}`

`Rate=(3990* 0.29)/(14)`

`Rate=82.65`

The flow rate in dexterous per​ hour is 82.65.

(b)

It is given that each mL contains 12 drops​ (the drop factor is expressed as 12 ggt/mL).

The flow rate in units of​ ggt/hr is

Rate in units of​ ggt/hr = Flow rate in mL/hr × Drop factor 12 ggt/mL

`\text{ Rate in units of ggt/hr}=285* 12`

`\text{ Rate in units of ggt/hr}=3420`

Therefore, the flow rate in units of​ ggt/hr is 3420.

(c)

It is given that a total of 3990 mL of the solution is given over a 14​-hour period.

The amount of dexterous delivered during the 14-hour period is 29% of 3990.

`3990* 0.29=1157.1`

Therefore, 1157.1 mg is of dexterous delivered during the 14-hour period.
