Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of flow rate (ml/hr) of infusion pump.

            Formula

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

              Here

                  Volume = 50 ml.

                   Time = 20 minute.

              Convert min to hr for calculation

                   So

                       Time = 20 / 60

                                = 0.33 hr.

         As per above formula

               ml/hr = 50 / 0.33

                           = 151.5 ml/hr.
