So here we are being told that this patient needs one liter of iv solution over the course of 12 hours.
00:11
Now, the first thing i'm going to do is convert the liter into milliliters because the other rates are in milliliters and this just makes it easier.
00:20
So remember that one liter is the same thing as a thousand milliliters.
00:26
And then the iv can drop for every milliliter it's set up to give 15 drops and then if we do our crossing out here and we do the math we end up getting 15 ,000 drops per 12 hours.
01:00
All right, that's really the first step.
01:03
And then we need to figure out how many drops.
01:05
Per minute we're expected to do.
01:08
And i've made this into two equations.
01:09
You could certainly just do it as one, but i sort of run out of space on the right hand side there...
