Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of ml/hr.

ml/hr = Volume(ml) / Time(hr).

Calculation of volume(ml).

Volume(ml) = Desired dose/Dose in hand * Quantity.

Here

Desired dose (D) = 3.375 g.

Dose in hand (H) = 3.375 g.

Quantity (Q) = 100 ml.

As per above formula

Volume(ml) of piperacillin required = D/H * Q

= 3.375/3.375 * 100

= 100 ml.

Time(hr) = 0.5 hr (30 min)
So

ml/hr = 100 / 0.5

= 200 ml/hr.
