A patient to be given 1000 mL of meds solution at 50 mL / hour.If tubing with drop factor of 15 is used,what is the rate in drops per minute?

15 mL of 10% Calcium Gluconate injection and 10 mL of a multivitamin infusion are mixed with 500 mL of NSS. The infusion is to be administered over a period of 5 hours. If the infusion set is calibrated at 15 drops per mL, at what rate in drops per minute should the flow rate be adjusted in order to administer the infusion over the desired time interval?

The doctor orders 300 mL of a drug to be given through a tube (intravenous), over a period of 1 hour. The drug flows in drops. If 6 drops equal 1 mL, how many drops per minute would be required to finish the drug in exactly 1 hour?
