    1. hrs = mL ÷ mL/hr

    2. mL/hr = mL/units x units/hr

    3. mL = (mL/hr * 24hrs) + (antibiotic mL * 6) + (flush mL * 6) - (mL/hr * ((30*6)/60))

    mL = (mL/hr * 24hrs) + (antibiotic mL * 6) + (flush mL * 6) - (mL/hr * ((30MINUTES PRIMARY IS NOT INFUSING*6NUMBER OF TIMES PRIMARY IS NOT INFUSING)/60TO CONVERT TO TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS))
