B. 0.14 mL/hr
C. 0.60/hr
D. 7.2mL/hr
E. 720 mL/hr
Answers
Answer is option D- 7.2ml/hr
This can be calculated by:
Order: Sedative at a rate of IV 12.0 (µg)/minute
Converting the microgram to ml,
1.0 µg = 0.001 ml
12.0 µg = 0.12 ml/minute
To calculate the rate in ml/hour, multiply with 60 minutes (1 hour)
0.12 × 60 = 7.2 ml/hr
