Order: 500 mL at 50 mL over 1 hour. The infusion started at 7 am.
What time will the infusion end? Show all work
To find out when the infusion will end, we need to calculate the total time it will take to infuse 500 mL at a rate of 50 mL per hour.
First, we need to divide the total volume (500 mL) by the infusion rate (50 mL/hour) to find out how many hours it will take: 500 mL / 50 mL/hour = 10 hours.
Next, we need to convert the hours to minutes since we know the rate is in mL per hour: 10 hours x 60 minutes/hour = 600 minutes.
Now we need to determine the start time of the infusion. We are told that the infusion started at 7 am.
To calculate the end time, we need to add the total infusion time (600 minutes) to the start time (7 am):
7 am + 600 minutes = 13 pm.
Therefore, the infusion will end at 1 pm.
To determine what time the infusion will end, we need to calculate the duration of time it will take to infuse 500 mL at a rate of 50 mL over 1 hour.
Step 1: Determine the amount of time it takes to infuse 50 mL.
Since 50 mL is infused over 1 hour, it will take 1 hour to infuse 50 mL.
Step 2: Calculate the number of times the 50 mL infusion must be repeated to reach 500 mL.
Since 500 mL needs to be infused, it will require 500 mL / 50 mL = 10 repetitions of the 50 mL infusion.
Step 3: Calculate the total time it will take to infuse 500 mL.
Since each repetition of the 50 mL infusion takes 1 hour, the total time it will take to infuse 500 mL is 10 repetitions x 1 hour = 10 hours.
Step 4: Determine the end time of the infusion.
Since the infusion started at 7 am and it will take 10 hours to infuse 500 mL, the infusion will end at 7 am + 10 hours = 5 pm.
Therefore, the infusion will end at 5 pm.
