Question

a patient is prescribed to receive 1 l of d5w to infuse at 50 ml/hr. how long will it take to infuse this solution? 8 hours 10 hours 15 hours 20 hours question 12 (2.5 points) a patient is prescribed to receive 1 l of d5w to infuse at 100 ml/hr. how long will it take to infuse this solution? 8 hours 10 hours 15 hours 20 hours

Explanation:

First Question (Infusion at 50 mL/hr)

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

Since \( 1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL} \), the total volume is \( 1000 \text{ mL} \).

Step2: Use time formula (\( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Rate}} \))

Substitute volume \( = 1000 \text{ mL} \) and rate \( = 50 \text{ mL/hr} \) into the formula:
\( \text{Time} = \frac{1000}{50} = 20 \)? Wait, no—wait, the options include 20? Wait, no, wait, let's recalculate. Wait, \( 1000 \div 50 = 20 \)? Wait, no, the options have 20 hours? Wait, no, the first question: wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, \( 1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL} \), rate is 50 mL/hr. So time is \( 1000 / 50 = 20 \) hours? But the options include 20 hours. Wait, but let's check the second question.

Second Question (Infusion at 100 mL/hr)

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

\( 1 \text{ L} = 1000 \text{ mL} \), so total volume is \( 1000 \text{ mL} \).

Step2: Use time formula (\( \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Rate}} \))

Substitute volume \( = 1000 \text{ mL} \) and rate \( = 100 \text{ mL/hr} \):
\( \text{Time} = \frac{1000}{100} = 10 \) hours.

First Question Answer:

20 hours (Wait, no—wait, the first question: \( 1000 \div 50 = 20 \), so the answer is 20 hours? But the options have 20 hours. Wait, the first question's options: 8,10,15,20. So 20 hours.

Second Question Answer:

10 hours.

Answer:

s:
First Question: 20 hours (Option: 20 hours)
Second Question: 10 hours (Option: 10 hours)
