Expert Solution
Step 1
Given
Rate of flow of IV infusion is 50 ml / hr
Volume of infusion = 275 ml
Hence in order to find the infusion time we have to use following formula
Infusion time = Total volume ( ml ) divided by IV flow rate ( ml/hr)
275 ml / 50 ml/hr
= 5.5 hr
Hence 275 ml infusion with the flow rate of 50 ml/hr will last for 5 hour and 30 min.
