Question

Tridil is infusing at 40 mL/hr. The IV label reads: 500 mL D5W with Tridil 5 mcg/3 mL. How long will it take to infuse the IV? ____

Answer 1

Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of how long (Time) will it take to infuse the IV.

Formula

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

So

Time(hr) = Volume(ml) / Flow rate(ml/hr)

Here

Flow rate(ml/hr) = 40 ml/hr.

Volume(ml) = 500 ml.

As per above formula

Time(hr) = 500 / 40

= 12.5

= 12 hour 30 minutes.
