question="A 36kg dog is to undergo a bitch spey and she is to receive fluid therapy at the surgical rate. Calculate how many drops per second she should receive given that the giving set administers 20 drops per ml."
choice1="2 drops per second"
choice2="1 drop per second"
choice3="0.1 drops per second"
choice4="0.4 drops per second"
choice5="6 drops per second"

feedback1="'''Correct!'''The surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec. [[Principles of Fluid Therapy#Fluid Rate Calculations|WikiVet Article:Fluid Rate Calculations]]"
feedback2="'''Incorrect!''' Have you used a fluid rate of 5mls/kg/hr? Remember, surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec. [[Principles of Fluid Therapy#Fluid Rate Calculations|WikiVet Article:Fluid Rate Calculations]]"
feedback3="'''Incorrect!''' Have you forgotten to multiply by the giving set factor? The surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec. [[Principles of Fluid Therapy#Fluid Rate Calculations|WikiVet Article:Fluid Rate Calculations]]"
feedback4="'''Incorrect!''' Have you used maintenance fluid rate i.e. 2mls/kg/hr? The surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec. [[Principles of Fluid Therapy#Fluid Rate Calculations|WikiVet Article:Fluid Rate Calculations]]"
feedback5="'''Incorrect!''' Have you forgotten to divide by 60 twice and multiply by the giving set factor? The surgical fluid rate is five times maintenance i.e. 10mls/kg/hr. Since the dog is 36kg, it will require 360 mls/hr, which is 6 mls/min (divide 360 by 60) and 0.1 mls/sec (divide 6 by 60). Then multiply 0.1 by the giving set factor which is 20 drops per ml to get 2 drops/sec. [[Principles of Fluid Therapy#Fluid Rate Calculations|WikiVet Article:Fluid Rate Calculations]]"
