How about you tell us what you've got so far? We are not a homework forum so nobody will do your homework for you. We can, however, guide you to getting the answers yourself.

You state you're a licensed nurse working in an operating room. You also said if you want to become advanced practice nurse. How can you not answer these basic math questions?

Not a student. But a nurse who claims to be licensed in AUS for over a year working in the operating theatre.

Even so it is a basic maths question and needs to be in the student section

Sorry I do not understand. We do not do these calculations at work. I do not get it as it does not provide a dose that is ordered.

You are missing information therefore no one can answer either query. And now you figured it out

1. 50 ml/hr

2. 2.5 mg/hr(?) not too sure on this one but i think thats the answer.

Use dimensional analysis.
