The order is for 250 mg of Ampicillin IVPB qan. The IVPB comes prepared from the pharmacy in a 50 mL IV bag with instructions
to infuse the IVPB over 15 min. How many ml/hr will the nurse set on the IV pump?

Respuesta :

The volume flow rate is in engineering and physics, especially fluid fluidity, the volume of fluid that is passed per unit time, usually even though depicted by symbol Q. It's the fluid that flows in that time. SI units have [tex]\bold{\frac{ m^3}{s}}[/tex] cubic meters, and the calculation can be defined as follows:

Solution:

  • The bag of IVPB is 50 mL and it can be infused for 15 minutes.
  • It implies the IVPB bag of 50 ml must be injected within 15 minutes
  • Or a bag of 50 ml injected at 15/60 hours

[tex]\to \bold{flow\ rate= \frac{volume \ (ml) }{time\ ( hr)}}[/tex]

                     [tex]\bold{= \frac{50}{(\frac{15}{60})} }\\\\ \bold{=\frac{50}{0.25}} \\\\ =\bold{200\ \frac{ml}{hr}}\\\\[/tex]

Thus answer is 200 ml/ hr
