Question

calculate this problem to find milliliters per hour.
the nurse is asked to infuse 146 milliliters ns iv pb in 30 minutes. infuse at ______ milliliters per hour.
the answer is (square) 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: Use the formula for rate

The rate \(r=\frac{\text{Volume}(V)}{\text{Time}(t)}\). Given \(V = 146\) milliliters and \(t=0.5\) hours. Then \(r=\frac{146}{0.5}\).

$$r = 146\div0.5=146\times\frac{1}{0.5}=146\times2 = 292$$

Answer:

\(292\)
