ANS: A

Feedback
A Correct: Cross multiply X/60 min = 50 mL/15 min, which = 15X = 3000. Divide 3000 by 15 = 200 mL/hr, which can be administered at that rate through a CVAD (central venous access device).
B Incorrect: This is an incorrect result.
C Incorrect: This is an incorrect result.
D Incorrect: This is an incorrect result.
