An IV drip delivers medication at a rate of 40 drops per minute. Each drop contains 0.05 milliliters of the medication. How many milliliters of medication are delivered in one hour?

  • A. 12 milliliters
  • B. 24 milliliters
  • C. 60 milliliters
  • D. 120 milliliters
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the amount of medication delivered in one hour, we first calculate the amount delivered in one minute by multiplying the number of drops per minute (40) by the volume of each drop (0.05 milliliters). This gives us 2 milliliters per minute. Then, to find the total amount delivered in one hour, we multiply 2 milliliters per minute by the number of minutes in an hour (60), resulting in 120 milliliters. Therefore, the correct answer is 120 milliliters. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total volume of medication delivered in one hour.
