Final answer:
To figure out the flow rate for the lower and upper dosages in mL/hr, it's necessary to convert the solution strength to the same units as the dosages. After doing the calculation, we find that the lower dosage flow rate is 5 mL/hr and the upper dosage flow rate is 30 mL/hr.
Explanation:
To calculate the flow rate for the lower and upper dosages in mL/hr, you first need to convert the solution strength to the same units as the dosage, i.e., mg/mL. The solution strength is 6000 mg/500 mL or 12 mg/mL.
- For the lower dosage of 1 mg/min, the flow rate is (1 mg/min) / (12 mg/mL) = 0.083 mL/min. To convert this to mL/hr, multiply by 60 min/hr, so the flow rate is 5 mL/hr.
- For the upper dosage of 6 mg/min, the flow rate is (6 mg/min) / (12 mg/mL) = 0.5 mL/min. Again, convert this to mL/hr to get a flow rate of 30 mL/hr.
Hence, the correct options are not listed in the choices given. The lower dosage flow rate is 5 mL/hr, and the upper dosage flow rate is 30 mL/hr.
