question 7 0.67 pts what would be the drip rate per second for 6 units of insulin (100 iu/ml) administered over a 2 hour period using a 60 drop set? edit view insert format tools table 12pt paragraph b i u a t2

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate volume of insulin

First, find the volume of 6 units of insulin. Since there are 100 IU/ml, the volume $V=\frac{6}{100}=0.06$ ml.

Step2: Convert time to seconds

The time period is 2 hours. Convert it to seconds: $t = 2\times60\times60=7200$ s.

Step3: Determine total number of drops

A 60 - drop set means there are 60 drops per ml. So the total number of drops $N = 0.06\times60 = 3.6$ drops.

Step4: Calculate drip rate per second

The drip rate per second $r=\frac{3.6}{7200}=0.0005$ drops/s.

Answer:

0.0005 drops per second
