b. How much does the child weigh in kg?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given

Weight: 50pounds

IV fluid: 0.9%NS

Time:1hour

Total volume:125ml

Drop factor =15gtt/min

a.Flow rate=Total fluid volume ×15÷Total time ×60

=125×15÷1×60

=31.25 drops/minor 31 drops/min

b.weight :50 pound

Formula:Weight(pound) ÷2.205

=50÷2.205

=22.6kg
