Directions: Calculate the IV flow rates with DA equations where requested.For credit,show work.Label all answers.Label flow rates in milliliters per hour or drops per minutes,as needed.
Ordered: NS IV at 100 mL per hr.Available: NS 500 mL.How many hours (and minutes,if applicable)will the infusion last?
IV Flow Rates
The speed at which intravenous fluid is administered to a patient, typically measured in milliliters per hour (mL/hr).
DA Equations
Differential Algebraic Equations, mathematical equations for systems that contain both differential and algebraic components.
Milliliters Per Hour
A volumetric flow rate measurement, often used in medical IV fluid administration, defining the number of milliliters delivered over the course of an hour.
