Answer #1

1 pound = 0.45 kg

61 pounds = 27.45 kgs

For 20kgs, 1500ml / day, for 7.45kgs, we need to add 20ml/kg/day for each kg more than 20 kgs.

So, 7.45 * 20 = 149 ml

Total 1500 + 149 = 1649 ml

We can infuse 1650ml/day

Total volume of fluid divided by total number of hours*60

1650 divided by 1440 = 1.145

1.145 multiply by drop factor 60 = 68.75 ml

We can infuse 1650 ml at 68.75 ml/hr
