Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:78 mg/hrStep-by-step explanation:Data provided in the question;Amount of dopamine contained in solution = 208 mgVolume of solution = 32 mLDosage = 12 mL/hConcentration of dopamine in solution = [tex]\frac{\textup{Amount of dopamine}}{\textup{Volume of solution}}[/tex] orConcentration of dopamine in solution = [tex]\frac{\textup{208 mg}}{\textup{32 mL}}[/tex] orConcentration of dopamine in solution = 6.5 mg/mLNow, The flow rate = Concentration × Dose orThe flow rate = ( 6.5 mg/mL ) × ( 12 mL/hr )orThe flow rate = 78 mg/hr
