Question

30mg of an antibiotic was mixed in 100 mL of Normal Saline. The order is to give it over a 20-minute period. What will be the flow rate in mL/hour?

Answer 1

To calculate the flow rate in mL/hour, we divide the amount of solution by the time in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the flow rate in mL/hour, we need to convert the given 20-minute period into hours by dividing it by 60. This gives us 0.33 hours. The flow rate can be calculated using the formula:

Flow Rate (mL/hour) = Amount of Solution (mL) / Time (hours)

Substituting the values, we get:

Flow Rate = 100 mL / 0.33 hours = 303.03 mL/hour

Therefore, the flow rate in mL/hour is approximately 303.03.
