Hi, I realized, you stopped at number 5, however, I was looking at number 6 for calculation. This is what I came up with125mL/h. But I went back and recalculated and came up with 2ml/h after multiplying 2x60minutes=120 and dividing 250 by 120 to get 2mL/h? I remember you stating the only time you have to do it in minutes is when they give it in hours and that means you have to multiply it by 60 minutes. Number 6 didn't give a drip factor it only mention an infusion pump. Just checking myself here. Thank you John 14:6

Prof D, you are amazing
Thank you for putting your time to help us.

I'm in Med Surge, and it's been crazy we only have 3 exams for 4 systems in each exam. Over 600 slides, I feel so defeat I had never felt like this or maybe is not for me.

I will have to withdraw, and it is like I'm always going backward.😔😌😵‍💫😭

Thank you for what you do and for helping so many of us.
