To calculate the milligrams per hour that the client will receive, we first need to determine the total milligrams of medication infused in a minute and then convert it to hours.
First, we need to find the total milligrams infused in a minute:
10 mcg/minute * 1 mg/1000 mcg = 0.01 mg/minute
Next, we need to find the total milligrams infused in an hour:
0.01 mg/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 0.6 mg/hour
Therefore, the client will receive 0.6 milligrams per hour.
