A patient receives 2.1 L of fluid over 19 hours through an IV. The drop factor is 20 gtt/mL. Calculate the drip rate in drops per minute (gtt/min).
Added by Jasmine L.
Step 1
Since 1 liter = 1000 milliliters, multiply the total volume in liters by 1000. \[ 2.1 \text{ liters} \times 1000 = 2100 \text{ milliliters} \] Show more…
