Solution

Para calcular la velocidad a la que se debe ajustar la bomba para administrar 1g de Ampicilina en 100ml de solución salina normal en 30 minutos, sigue estos pasos:

  1. Determinar el volumen total a administrar: 100 ml.

  2. Determinar el tiempo total de administración: 30 minutos.

  3. Convertir el tiempo de minutos a horas: 30 minutos×1 hora60 minutos=0.5 horas 30 \text{ minutos} \times \frac{1 \text{ hora}}{60 \text{ minutos}} = 0.5 \text{ horas}

  4. Calcular la velocidad de infusión en ml/hr: 100 ml0.5 horas=200 ml/hr \frac{100 \text{ ml}}{0.5 \text{ horas}} = 200 \text{ ml/hr}

Por lo tanto, debes ajustar la bomba a 200 ml/hr para administrar la medicación en el tiempo requerido.
