Question

If the rate of delivery of a medication is 89 ml/min, how many

mg of drug would the patient receive in 1 hour if the concentration
is 600 mg/150 ml?

Answer 1

The patient would receive 21360 mg of the drug in 1 hour if the rate of delivery is 89 ml/min and the concentration is 600 mg/150 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of medication the patient would receive in 1 hour, we need to convert the rate of delivery from ml/min to ml/hour. Since 1 hour has 60 minutes, we can multiply the rate of delivery by 60 to get the ml/hour. In this case, 89 ml/min * 60 = 5340 ml/hour.

To convert ml to mg, we need to use the concentration of the medication. The concentration is given as 600 mg/150 ml. We can divide the total ml/hour by 150 ml and then multiply by 600 mg to get the mg/hour. In this case, 5340 ml/hour * (600 mg/150 ml) = 21360 mg/hour.

Therefore, the patient would receive 21360 mg of the drug in 1 hour if the rate of delivery is 89 ml/min and the concentration is 600 mg/150 ml.
