Answer:
Dosage concentration is 0.24 mg/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
Drop factor is 10 gtt/ml
flow rate = 15 gtt/ml
concentration is 49 mg in 250 ml NS
We know flow rate is given as
[tex]flow rate = \frac{volume}{time} \times drop\ factor[/tex]
volume in per minute [tex]= \frac{flow\ rate}{drop\ factor}[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{15}{10} = 1.5 ml[/tex]
In 250 ml concentration is 40 mg
so in 1.5 ml concentration is
Dosage concentration is [tex]= \frac{1.5\times 40}{250} = 0.24 mg/min[/tex]
Dosage concentration is 0.24 mg/min
