Answer:

0.625mcg/min

Explanation:

2 mg = 2000mcg

So, 250 ml contains 2000mcg of octreotide.

1 ml of NS contains 8 mcg of octreotide.

2000mcg/250ml= 8mcg/ml

Octreotide is infusing at 12ml/hr.

So, 12 ml of Ns contains 96mcg of octreotide.

12ml/8mcg/ml=96mcg

Octreotide is infusing at 12ml/hr.

So, 12 ml of Ns contains 96mcg of octreotide.

60mins/96mcg/hr= 0.625mcg/min
