Step 1
To calculate the drip rate via gravity, we need to know the volume to be infused and the drop factor. Given: Volume to be infused = 150 mL Drop factor = 20 gtts/mL Drip rate = (Volume to be infused * Drop factor) / Time in minutes Since the order is to infuse Show more…

#05. (1 pt) An order reads: IV fluids: 5.00% glucose 500. mL in 4 hours. How many microdrops per minute would you administer? Note: 1 mL = 60 mcgtt. Please show your work. #06. (1 pt) A patient is to receive an IV infusion of 1.00 L of 0.90% NaCl. The flow rate is 30 drops per minute. If the drop factor is 15 drops per milliliter, how many hours will it take for this infusion to finish? Please show your work.
