Question

question 11 (3 points)
the doctor orders a patient to receive d5ns intravenous (iv) to be administered at 150 ml/hr. the pharmacy stocks 1 l d5ns bags.
how many hours will one iv bag last?
1 hour
4 hours
6.66 hours
4.2 hours

Explanation:

Step1: Convert liters to milliliters

We know that \(1\space L = 1000\space mL\). So the volume of the IV bag is \(1000\space mL\).

Step2: Calculate time using rate formula

The formula for time \(t\) is \(t=\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Rate}}\). The volume is \(1000\space mL\) and the rate is \(150\space mL/hr\). So \(t = \frac{1000}{150}\approx6.66\space hours\).

Answer:

6.66 hours
