There's no work to show if I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't post my entire 30 question homework did I? I was clearly asking for direction. I supplied how we were taught to set up the equations and as anyone could see, they are much different.

Just a few questions need help with, appreciate anything. Very unsure on these two. Here's how we were taught to typically set IV problems up: Amnt of solution/hours to administer= mL/hr If with drop factor (gtt/min) Amount of solution x gtt divided by mins/hr 1.)An IV bag has 350 mL remaining. It is infusing at 35 gtt/min with tubing 15 gtt/mL being used. How long will it take to finish? 2.)1000mL NS to infuse at 90mL/hr. Find drip rate for 15 mL tubing Thank you!!

Aha! I was thinking it required a calculation to answer the first, then with that info to answer the rest of them. my teacher told me to go to evolve math lessons to give me an idea how to solve but they are all just like the practice problem I posted. Thank you everyone for your time, only been in the program a few weeks!

How many hours would it take to infuse if feeding at 120ml/hr? 2? (120x 2 =240)

Full strength as in all of it so is the answer would administer the whole 240 ml/hr?? or..? sigh

Amanda Barnes has a small bore feeding tube in place and is receiving continuous full strength Isocal formula at 120 ml/hour via a feeding pump. Isocal comes in cans containing 240 ml. How would you prepare and deliver this type of tube feeding? How much of the Isocal can be poured safely intothe tube feeding container each time? I feel like this question is missing information or I am making this too difficult. This is our homework and it does not match anything in our lessons,book or practice questions given. Lessons/book tells me all about the type of feeding systems but not how formula is prepared except to say it requires sterile water. I can't calculate how much formula and sterile water from this problem can I? I don't understand really what it is asking and my teacher never answers questions. I asked her about this one and was basically told to screw off. Thank you, I am desperate! p.s. here is a practice problem Example 2: Order: 1/3 strength Ensure 900 mL by NG over 8 hours. 1/3 ( desired strength) x 900 (amount of solution) = x (solute) Step 1: 900 ___ = x x = 300 mL 3 Step 2: 900 mL (amount of solution) - 300 mL (solute) = 600mL (amount needed to dissolve) Therefore you would add 600 mL water to 300 mL of Ensure to make 900 mL of 1/3 strength Ensure.
