The Answer is 25-49 mg/hr; 50-98 mL/hr
0.4 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 24.56 = 25 mg/hr
0.8 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 49.12 = 49 mg/hr
The dosage range is 25-49 mg/hr. 25-49 mg/hr; 50-98 mL/hr 0.4 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 24.56 = 25 mg/hr 0.8 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 49.12 = 49 mg/hr The dosage range is 25-49 mg/hr. The flow rate range is 50-98 mL/hr.

25-49 mg/hr; 50-98 mL/hr 0.4 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 24.56 = 25 mg/hr 0.8 mg/kg/hr × 61.4 kg = 49.12 = 49 mg/hr The dosage range is 25-49 mg/hr. The flow rate range is 50-98 mL/hr.
