Answer:
The rate of delivery 7.256 mL/hour for a 40-lb child.
Explanation:
The recommended maintenance dose of aminophylline for children = 1 mg/kg h
Mass of children = 40 lb = 18.14 kg
1 lb = 0.453592 kg
Amount of aminophylline for children to be given to in a hour:
= 1 mg/kg h  × 18.14 kg × 1 h = 18.14 mg
If 10 mL of a 25 mg/mL solution of aminophylline is added to a 100 mL bottle of dextrose injection.
Amount of dose in 10 mL of 25 mg/mL solution of aminophylline.
The value of dose in which 18.14 mg of dose is present in :
[tex]\frac{10}{25}\times 18.14 mL=7.256 ml[/tex]
So, in a an hour 7.256 volume of the solution of aminophylline should delivered to the childrenin an hour.
The rate of delivery 7.256 mL/hour for a 40-lb child.
