Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Rate will infuse the IVPB over the allotted time.

          Formula

             Rate = Volume(ml) / Time(hr).

      Here

        Ordered dose = 50ml / 30 min.

   Two 30 minutes period present in one hour so multiply the

    flow rate(ml/min) by 2 to calculate flow rate (ml/hr).

          Flow rate = 50 * 2 / 30 * 2

                           = 100ml/ 60min.

                           = 100 ml/hr.
