Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the infusion rate in mL/h, first calculate the total volume to be infused, which is 50 mL. Since the infusion is to be completed in 20 minutes, convert this time to hours: 20 minutes is 1/3 of an hour. The rate is then 50 mL divided by 1/3 hour, which equals 150 mL/h. However, the closest option is 156 mL/h, which is likely a rounding or calculation error in the options provided.
