Question

Infusion Rates for Dextrose (D5W). A 5% dextrose solution (mg per 100 mL of solution ) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 1.5 L of the solution is given over a 12-hour period.

 

a.      What is the flow rate in units mL/hr? In units of mg (of dextrose)/hr

b.      If each milliliter of the solution is equivalent to 15 drops (this drop factor is expressed as 15 gtt/mL, where the abbreviation gtt comes from the Latin guttta, for drop), what is the flow rate in units of gtt/hr?

c.      During the 12-hour period, how much dextrose is delivered?

 

I do not have the answers for this. Answer this as best as you can. This is for Math 140 Statistic and Probability. Please watch grammar, do not leave words out, use short answers. Thank you.
