86 mls/hr seems way too high for that dose.

I think the answer is around 86 mL/hr, but I’m not completely confident. I need to remember how to handle the units properly.

I feel like I might be overthinking the calculations. Is it just a matter of multiplying the rate by the weight and then converting?

This seems similar to that practice question we did on dopamine dosing. I think I need to double-check the conversion from mcg to mL.

I remember we calculated infusion rates in class, but I'm not sure if I got the weight conversion right for this one.

Okay, I've got this. Widespread destruction like that is definitely a sign of a catastrophic virus. I'm confident that's the right answer here.

I'm feeling a little lost on this one. The details about the company's structure and growth stage are throwing me off. I'll need to re-read the question carefully and try to match the HR strategies to the organizational context.
