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 what time the infusion will end, we need to calculate the duration of the infusion in hours and add it to the starting time.
Given:
Volume: 500 mL
Rate: 50 mL/hour
Starting time: 7 am
First, we calculate the duration of the infusion in hours:
Duration = Volume / Rate
Duration = 500 mL / 50 mL/hour
Duration = 10 hours
Next, we add the duration to the starting time:
Ending time = Starting time + Duration
Ending time = 7 am + 10 hours
Ending time = 5 pm
Therefore, the infusion will end at 5 pm.
To find the time 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.
Let's start by determining how long it will take to infuse 50 mL.
We know that the rate is 50 mL per hour. So, to infuse 50 mL, it will take:
Time = volume / rate = 50 mL / 50 mL/hour = 1 hour
Now, we can calculate the total time it will take to infuse 500 mL.
Total time = 500 mL / 50 mL/hour = 10 hours
Therefore, the infusion will end 10 hours after it started at 7 am.
To find the exact time, let's add 10 hours to 7 am:
7 am + 10 hours = 5 pm
So, the infusion will end at 5 pm.
