Answer:
Drip rate = 2 ml/h
Explanation:
Given:
Amount of insulin = 500 unit
Amount of saline = 250 ml
Required infusion rate = 4.0 units/h
Find:
Drip rate
Computation:
Concentration = Units of insulin / Volume of saline
= 500 / 250
Concentration = 2 units/ml
Drip rate = Infusion rate / concentration
Drip rate = 4 / 2
Drip rate = 2 ml/h
The drip rate is [tex]5 \ mL/h[/tex].
An amount of saline [tex]=250 mL[/tex]
An amount of insulin[tex]=200 mL[/tex]
Required infusion rate[tex]=4.00 \ units/h[/tex]
Concentration[tex]=\frac{units \ of \ insulin}{Volume \ of \ saline}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{200}{250}[/tex]
[tex]=0.8 \ units/mL[/tex]
Drip rate[tex]=\frac{Infusion \ rate}{concentration}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{4}{0.8} \\=5 \ mL/h[/tex]
