Answer 1

Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of ml/hr.

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

Calculation of volume(ml)

Formula = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Desired dose(D) = 800 unis/hour.

Dose in hand (H) = 25000 units.

Quantity(Q) = 250 ml.

As per above formula

Volume(ml) of drug required = D/H * Q

= 800 / 25000 * 250

= 0.032 * 250

= 8 ml.

Time(hr) = 1 hr.

* ml/hr = 8 ml/hr.
