Explanation / Answer

Answer of question(1)

Here total duration for infusion be =1045-800 = 2 hours 45 minutes.

= 120+45= 165 minutes

Further as 1000 ml to infuse in 8 hours, that mean IV setup will be set at 1000 ml/480 min=2.0833 ml/min

So accordingly total ml infused in patient will be

= 2.0833 x 165 = 344 ml

(And we will have to mannual set IV set up at the corresponding rate because with fixed rate 10 gtt/min, it will only transfer 16.5 ml in 2 hours 45 minutes)

So our correct answer is 344 ml.
