Explanation / Answer

15. Volume: 100 ml
Time: 20 minutes = 20 ÷ 60 minutes= 0.33 hour
Formula: volume / time = 100 / 0.33 = 303.03 ml / hr
The flow rate is 303 ml/hr
16. Weight: 75 kg
Ordered dosage: 0.004 mg / kg = 0.004 × 75 = 0.3 mg
Available dosage : 400 mg / 500 ml
Required dosage: (ordered dosage/ available dosage) × quantity = (0.3/400) × 500 = 0.375 ml
Drop factor: 60 gtt/ml
Time: 1 minute
Formula: (volume/time) × drop factor= (0.375/1) × 60 = 22.5
Drops per minute is 23 gtt/ min to be delivered
17. Amount = 75 ml
Time: 1 hour = 60 minutes
Drop factor: 10 gtt / ml
Formula: (volume/time) × drop factor= (75/60) 10 = 12.5
Answer: 13 gtt/ min
18. Weight: 160 lb = 72.5 kg
Ordered dosage: 30 mg/ kg/ day= 30×72.5 = 2175 mg / day
Usually ampicillin is given for 4 times per day
So the amount per dose= 2175 / 4 = 543.75 mg
