Question

Directions: For the following questions, calculate mL per hr for an electronic infusion device. Ordered: 1000 mL NS in 12 hr.

_____ml/hr

Answer 1

Given,

Ordered: 1000 mL NS(normal saline) in 12 hr.

Volume of NS solution = 1000 ml

Infusion time = 12 hr

Flow rate ( ml/hr) = volume of NS solution in ml/ infusion time in hour

= 1000 ml/12 hr

= 83.33 ml/hr

= 83 ml/ hr [ rounded to nearest whole number]

Therefore, flow rate = 83 ml/hr

Answer is 83 ml/hr
