To determine if the division factor method can be used, we need to focus on the units in which the volume to be administered is expressed. Specifically, we need to check if the units are conducive to common divisions related to administering fluid over time. The correct forms for the division factor method are:
1. mL/hr
2. mL/60 min
3. mL/10 min
4. mL/15 min
These units (mL/hr, mL/60 min, mL/10 min, and mL/15 min) are standard time intervals and express volumes in a way that is manageable and typical for medical dosing practices. Other forms listed do not fit the criteria for using the division factor method effectively.
In conclusion, the volume to be administered should be expressed in:
- mL/hr
- mL/60 min
- mL/10 min
- mL/15 min
These units are the correct forms for utilizing the division factor method in medical dosing.
