Expert Solution

Conversion of 110 pounds to kg= 49.89 kg.

1) convert mcg/min to mg/hour

2 x 49.89

------------------------------------ x 60 = 0.09978 x 60    = 5.9 mg / hour.

1000

2) put the values into the formula : dose of the drug to be administered

--------------------------------------------- x voulme of fluid available

dose of the drug available

= 5.9

----------------- x 200

400

= 0.01475 x 200 = 2.95 ml/hour = 3ml/hour
