    rate of infusion is 900 mL/hr

    Explanation:

    given data

    Infuse I1 = 1000 mL

    delivers = 15 gtt/mL

    Infuse I2 = 300 mL

    time t = 20 min

    rate = 60 mL/hr

    to find out

    rate of infusion

    solution

    we know here we give 300 mL infuse in 20 min

    so here for 20 min

    rate of infusion is express as

    rate of infusion = I2 / t

    rate of infusion = 300 / 20

    rate of infusion = 15 mL / min

    rate of infusion = 15 * 60 = 900

    so rate of infusion is 900 mL/hr
