Answer

Volume of fluid in ml=1000ml/hour

Total number of units in volume=40000 units

Unit in dose=1200units

Time=1hr

So iticalculated by using

=Volume of IV fluid in ml/Total number of units in volume×unit in dose/time (hr)

ml/hr=1000ml/40000units×1200/1hr

=30ml/hr

The IV flow rate is 30ml/hr
