Answer to Question 1

24 mL

Global Rationale: mL/hr = 1000 mL/1000 mg x 1 mg/1000 mcg x 5 mcg/1 kg x 1 kg/2.2 lbs x 176 lbs/1 min x 60 min/1 hr. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The client will receive 24 mL over the next hour.

Answer to Question 2

1445

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
