The patient is supposed to have 2000 mL of NS to run over 16 hours. After 4 hours, you discover that 900 mL remain. The drop factor is 10 gtt/mL. Recalculate the rate so the IV will finish in the 16 hours ordered in gtt/min.

The IV order is to infuse Ciprofloxacin 100 mg in 50 mL 0.9% NS q.12h. The pharmacy sends the mixed IVPB with instructions to infuse over 45 minutes. The drop factor of the IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate in gtt/min for this IVPB.
