Question

calculate this problem to find milliliters per hour.
the nurse is asked to infuse 154 milliliters ns iv pb in 30 minutes. infuse at ______ milliliters per hour.
the answer is □ milliliters per hour.
(round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time from minutes to hours

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, 30 minutes = $\frac{30}{60}=0.5$ hours.

Step2: Calculate milliliters per hour

We use the formula: Rate (mL/h) = $\frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (h)}$.
Given volume \(V = 154\) mL and time \(t=0.5\) h.
Rate \(r=\frac{154}{0.5}=154\times2 = 308\) mL/h.

Answer:

308
