A patient receives an intravenous (IV) solution that flows at the rate of 150 mL per hour. How much fluid does the patient receive in 20. min? (Answer = 50 mL) How long does it take for the patient to receive 90. mL of fluid? (Ans. = 0.6 hr or 36 min.) If the IV bag holds 600. mL of fluid, how many minutes does it take to empty the bag? (t = 4 hrs) If the solution contains 90. mg of glucose per mL, how long will it take to give the patient 2.0 g of glucose? (t = 0.15 hr or 9 min)
