A drug is to infuse at 0.4 mg/min. the strength is 10 mg/500mL. Calculate the flow rate. mL/hr?
Answers:
it would come out to be 20ml/hr
times 0.4 to 500 and dived by 10 its just cross multiplying
1200 ml/hr
0.4mg x 60=24
24mg/hr
if it comes 10 mg/ 500ml
i.e. 10mg= 500ml
24mg= ?
x.10= 500 ml x 24mg
500 x 24/10= 1200 ml/hr
1200ml/hr
0.4 mg/min x 60 = 24 mg/hr
__10 mg__ = __24 mg__
**500 ml************x*******
24 x 500 = 12000 divided by 10 = 1200 ml/hr
Check
10 mg divided by 500 ml = 0.02 mg/ml
24 mg/hr divided by 0.02 mg/ml = 1200 ml
