A 29% dextrous solution (29mg per 100mL of solution) is given intravenously. Suppose a total of 3.99L of the solution is given over a 14-hour period. Complete parts (a) through (c) below.
a. What is the flow rate in units of mL/hr?
If an order was written to infuse a liter of IV fluid every 8 hours, at what rate would the IV pump be set for? Answer is 125 mL/hour.

Answer:
(a) The flow rate is 285 mL/hr and the flow rate in dexterous per hour is 82.65.
(b) The flow rate in units of ggt/hr is 3420.
(c) 1157.1 mg
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a 29% dexterous solution (29mg per 100mL of solution) is given intravenously.
A total of 3.99L of the solution is given over a 14-hour period.
(a)
We know that 1 L = 1000 mL.
[tex]3.99L=3.99\times 1000=3990mL[/tex]
The flow rate in units of mL/hr is
[tex]Rate=\frac{\text{Solution Quantity}}{Time}[/tex]
[tex]Rate=\frac{3990}{14}[/tex]
[tex]Rate=285[/tex]
Therefore, the flow rate is 285 mL/hr .
The flow rate in dexterous per hour is
[tex]Rate=\frac{\text{Solution Quantity}\times \frac{29}{100}}{Time}[/tex]
[tex]Rate=\frac{3990\times 0.29}{14}[/tex]
[tex]Rate=82.65[/tex]
The flow rate in dexterous per hour is 82.65.
(b)
It is given that each mL contains 12 drops (the drop factor is expressed as 12 ggt/mL).
The flow rate in units of ggt/hr is
Rate in units of ggt/hr = Flow rate in mL/hr × Drop factor 12 ggt/mL
[tex]\text{ Rate in units of ggt/hr}=285\times 12[/tex]
[tex]\text{ Rate in units of ggt/hr}=3420[/tex]
Therefore, the flow rate in units of ggt/hr is 3420.
(c)
It is given that a total of 3990 mL of the solution is given over a 14-hour period.
The amount of dexterous delivered during the 14-hour period is 29% of 3990.
[tex]3990\times 0.29=1157.1[/tex]
Therefore, 1157.1 mg is of dexterous delivered during the 14-hour period.
