Question

A 2-liter TPN LVP is running at 166.7 mL/hr. What is the administration time and how many IV bags will be needed in the next 48-hour period?

Answer 1

The administration time would be around 11.99 or 12 hours since we divide the 2 liters or 2000 ml into the flow rate of 166.7 ml/hr and the IV bags to be needed in the next 48 hour period would be around 4 bags as we divide the 48 hours into the 11.99/12 hours.
