Question

client is ordered 0.25 l ns to infuse at 50 ml\\h. how many hours will this iv run? (round answer to the tenths). answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

Since \(1\ L = 1000\ mL\), then \(0.25\ L=0.25\times1000 = 250\ mL\).

Step2: Calculate the infusion time

The formula for infusion time \(t=\frac{V}{r}\), where \(V\) is the volume (\(V = 250\ mL\)) and \(r\) is the rate (\(r = 50\ mL/h\)). So \(t=\frac{250}{50}=5.0\)

Answer:

\(5.0\)
