¼ strength Pulmocare 450mL q8h followed by 100mL of water after each feed. Calculate the mixture, and determine the pump rate in mL/hr.
Soluted needed Solvent needed Flow rate in mL/hr for feeding
Answer:
Solvent needed: 212.5 ml
Flow rate: 27 ml / hr
Calculation:
Strength: ¼ = 0.25
Available Pulmocare: 450 ml
Water: 100 ml
Frequency: q8h = every 8 hours
¼ Dilution = Available pulmocare X Strength
= 450 X 0.25
= 112.5 ml
Mixture = ¼ dilution + Water
= 112.5 + 100
= 212.5 ml
Pump rate = Mixture / Frequency
= 212.5 / 8
= 26.56 ml/hr = ~ 27 ml / hour
