Answer:

[tex]V_f=450ml/hr[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass [tex]m=15kg[/tex]

Amount of NaCl IV [tex]n=0.9\%[/tex]

Rate [tex]R=30ml/kg/hr[/tex]

Generally the equation for fluid rate be for your IV pump is mathematically given by

[tex]V_f=mR[/tex]

Since

Rate is

30ml/kg/hr at 1kg patient Weight

Therefore

[tex]V_f=15*30[/tex]

[tex]V_f=450ml/hr[/tex]
