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
Added by Lauren F.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the total drops per hour by multiplying the drop rate (30 gtt/min) by the number of minutes in an hour: Total drops per hour = 30 gtt/min * 60 min/hr = 1800 gtt/hr Show more…
