    Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr. (Equipment used is programmable in whole m/hr) 500 mL LR in 12 hr by Infusion pump

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Volume of fluid: 500 mL Infusion time: 12 hours Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 500 mL / 12 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 41.66666667 mL/hr Step 2: Round to the nearest whole number: Flow rate (mL/hr) ≈ 42 mL/hr
