A physician assistant orders 500 mL of D5NS over 5 hours. How many milliliters per hour will the patient receive? (Round to the nearest whole number)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The patient will receive 100 milliliters per hour.

Explanation:

Milliliter is the unit of measurement that refers to the thousandth part of a liter, that is, 1 liter has 1000 milliliters. In addition, the milliliter has the acronym mL, so when the question above states that the patient should receive 500 mL in 5 hours, it means that he should receive 500 milliliters in 5 hours.

To know then, how many milliliters it will receive in each hour, we must divide 500 by 5. The result will be 100 mL per hour.
