What is the flow rate in milliliters per hour for a 500ml solution to be infused over 5 hours?

To determine the flow rate in milliliters per hour for a 500 ml solution infused over 5 hours, you can use the formula:

Flow Rate (ml/h) = Total Volume (ml) / Time (h)

In this scenario, you have a total volume of 500 ml and a time of 5 hours.

Plugging these values into the formula:

Flow Rate = 500 ml / 5 h = 100 ml/h

This means that to administer the 500 ml evenly over 5 hours, the infusion rate should be set to 100 ml per hour. This rate ensures that the entire volume is delivered within the specified time frame without any excess or deficit.
