Calculate the number of drops per minute a 2.7-kg kitten requires. The fluid rate is 60 mL/kg/day and the fluid is to be given over 24 hours using a giving set which delivers 60 gtt/mL. Round your answer up to the nearest drop. Calculate maintenance fluid requirements of 60 mL/kg-12h for a 22-kg dog in millilitres. The volume of fluid calculated is to be given over 12 hours. What is the rate (in drops) per minute if the giving set delivers 20 gtt/mL? Round your answer up to the nearest drop. Calculate maintenance fluid requirements at 50 mL/kg for a 15-kg dog in millilitres. The

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the total volume of fluid to be given over 12 hours for the 22-kg dog. - The maintenance fluid requirement is 60 mL/kg-12h. - So, for a 22-kg dog, the total volume would be 60 mL/kg-12h * 22 kg = 1320 mL-12h. Show more…

A patient gets 1.8 L of fluid over 16 hours through an IV. The drop factor is 20 gtt/mL. Calculate the drip rate in drops per minute (gtt/min). Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Answer:

A client is to receive 1000 mL of 5% dextrose in water (D5W) at a rate of 100 mL/hr. The drop (gtt) factor is 10 drops (gtt) per mL. The nurse adjusts the flow rate to deliver how many drops per minute? Fill in the blank. Record your answer to the nearest whole number.
