Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Peripheral pulses +1: Weak peripheral pulses indicate continued hypovolemia or dehydration. Effectiveness would be reflected in stronger pulses.

B. Urine output 200 mL/4 hr: Adequate urine output (≥30 mL/hr) indicates improved kidney perfusion and hydration status, suggesting effective treatment.

C. Urine specific gravity 1.04: This value is elevated, indicating continued dehydration; effective hydration would reduce this value to the normal range of 1.005-1.030.

D. Heart rate 104/min: Tachycardia is a compensatory response to dehydration. Improvement would manifest as a normalized heart rate (60-100 bpm).

Correct Answer is ["25"]

Explanation

Flowrate(gtt/min) = Volume /Time× Dropfactor(gtt/mL)

Rate= 100ml /60min×15 gtt/mL

= 25 gtt/min
