Loc weighs 14 pounds. The HCP prescribes an IV infusion of 5% dextrose in 1/4 normal saline to be infused at 8mL/kg/hr. How many mL of the prescribed solution should the nurse infuse each hour?

50.80 mL/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The prescription is using kg for the mass unit while the weight use pounds. We have to change the weight unit into kilograms to calculate the dose of the IV infusion. The type of solution should not have any influence on the calculation.

If one kilogram equal to 0.0.453592 pounds, the calculation will be:

14 pounds * (0.0.453592 kg/ pounds) * 8mL/kg/hr=

6.35 kg * 8mL/kg/hr= 50.80 mL/hr

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
