Answer #1

1.The order is 20ml/kg/day.Patient weight-20kg

So the fluid volume =20ml*20kg

20*20=400ml for one day(24hrs)

Hourly fluid rate=volume/time .Here the time is one day,that is 24 hrs.

Hourly fluid rate=400/24=16.66ml/hr

2.Formula=

Drip rate=volume in ml*drop factor

time in minutes

volume=1.2L that is 1200 ml

Administration set=15 drops/min

Drip rate=50drops/min
Substitute

50 drops/min=1200ml*15drops/min divide by time which we need to find out

50*Time=1200*15

Time=1200*15 =360

50

Time is 360 mins.That is 6hrs.
