A)What is mL per hr to nearest 0.5 mL? ____________
B)Estimate:
C)DA equation:
D)Evaluation:
E)Is this considered a continuous or an intermittent infusion?
Intermittent Infusion
An infusion of fluid or medication over a set period, intermittently repeated, as opposed to continuous infusion.
Maintenance IV
Intravenous therapy administered to maintain fluid balance or provide consistent medication dosing over a period of time.
D5W
A solution of 5% dextrose (a form of glucose) in water, used as a vehicle for intravenous administration of drugs and fluids.
- Implement Dimensional Analysis (DA) equations for the precise estimation of intravenous flow rates.
- Differentiate between continuous and intermittent IV infusions.

Final Answer :
a.42 mL per hr
b.Estimate: Less than 50 mL per hr (10 hours would be 100 mL per hr,20 hours 50 mL per hr)
c.DA equation:
41.66,rounded to 42 mL per hr (nearest 0.5 mL)
d.Evaluation: Estimate supports answer.
e.This is a continuous infusion.
