Question

An IV medication of 240 mL is to infuse at the rate of 60 mL/hr. What is the total infusion time?

Answer 1

Given:

An IV medication of 240 mL is to infuse at the rate of 60 mL/hr.

The total infusion time will be as follows:

Volume : Time

60 mL 1 hour

240 mL x hours

So, using the ratio and the proportions, and the cross product:

`x=(240*1)/(60)=4`

So, the answer will be: the total infusion time = 4 hours
