IV Questions - round answers to nearest whole number 9. A physician orders an IV to run at 100 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 10 gtt/mL What is the flow rate? (hint...100 mL per hour is volume of 100 mL in time of 60 minutes) 10. An IV is to run at 50 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 15 gtt/ mL What is the flow rate?

A physician orders an IV to run at 100 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 10 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? (Hint: 100 mL per hour is the volume of 100 mL in a time of 60 minutes) 10. An IV is to run at 50 mL per hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? 11. An antibiotic is mixed as 50 mL of IV solution. It is to infuse in one hour. The drop factor of the infusion set is 60 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate? Calculate the flow rate for an IV of 1000 mL of normal saline to be infused in 8 hours. The drop factor of the infusion set is 20 gtt/mL. An IV solution of Zosyn 3.375 g in 50 mL of normal saline is to run over 30 minutes. What is the flow rate if the drop factor is 15 gtt/mL? (Hint: Do you need to use every number mentioned in the problem?)
QUESTION 4 An IV is infusing at 30 gtt/min. If the drop factor is 20 gtt/mL, what would this rate of flow equal in mL/h? 600 mL/hr 10 mL/hr 100 mL/hr 90 mL/hr
