Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale 1: mL/hr = 1 mL/400 mcg x 2 mcg/1 kg x 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 198 lbs/1 min x 60 min/1 hr. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The client will receive 27 mL/hr.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale 1: gtt/min = 10 gtts/1 mL x 50 mL/30 min. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The client will receive 16.6 or 17 gtt/min.
