Question

An infant is receiving 22 mL/hr intravenous fluid by way of an infusion pump. How much fluid will be infused between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM? Record your answer as a whole number. ___ mL

Answer 1

264 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The rate at which the infant receives the intravenous fluid by way of an infusion pump = 22 mL/hr

Duration for which the fluid is to be infused = 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM

i.e for 12 hours

Now,

The amount fluid to be infused = Rate of infusion × Duration in hours

= 22 × 12

= 264 mL
