An order is given to administer methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory drug, by IV at a rate of 36 mg every 30. min . The IV bag contains 125 mg of methylprednisolone in every 2.0 mL . What should the flow rate be in milliliters per minute (mL/min)?

0.0192 mL per min.

Explanation:

IV rate = 36 mg per 30 min.

IV concentration = 125 mg per 2.0 mL

36 mg per 30 min. IV rate = 36/30 = 1.2 mg per min

If 125 mg methylprednisolone is present in 2.0 mL of the IV nag, how many mL would contain 1.2 mg?

      = 2x1.2/125

                        = 0.0192 mL

Therefore, the flow rate of the IV must be 0.0192 mL per min. in order to be able to deliver 36 mg per 30 min.    

answer; ///(d) the correct answer is double or triple

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
