Question

calculate this problem to find milliliters per hour.
the nurse is asked to infuse 148 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 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 $V = 148$ mL and time $t=0.5$ h. Then the rate $r=\frac{148}{0.5}$.

$$r = 148\div0.5=148\times\frac{1}{0.5}=148\times2 = 296$$

Answer:

296
