Calculate the flow rate in ml/hr. (Equipment used is programmable in whole mL/hr) 30 mL of antibiotic in 0.99% NS in 20 min by infusion pump.

Given: Volume of fluid: 30 mL Infusion time: 20 minutes Step 1: Convert infusion time to hours: Infusion time (hr) = 20 min / 60 min/hr Infusion time (hr) = 0.33 hr Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) Flow rate (mL/hr) = 30 mL / 0.33 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 90.90909091 mL/hr Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number: Flow rate (mL/hr) ≈ 90 mL/hr
