Expert Solution

* Calculation of ml/hr.

ml/hr = Volume(ml) / Time(hr).

Calculation of volume(ml).

Volume(ml) = Desire dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Desired dose = 1800 unit.

Dose in hand = 25000 unit.

Quantity = 250 ml.

As per above formula

Volume(ml) = 1800/25000 * 250

= 0.072 * 250

= 18 ml.

Time(hr) = 1 hr.

Rate(ml/hr) = 18 ml/hr.
