(1 pt) An IV-solution is set up to deliver 25 drops per m tubing is labeled 20 drops per mL. How many minutes will solution? Set up to deliver 25 drops per minute (i.e. 25 gtt/min) and the How many minutes will it take to deliver 100 mL of this IV- #03. (1pt) A patient receives 100 mL of an 1-solution over the course of 60 minutes. The ng from the IV-solution is labeled as 20 drops per mL (i.e. 20 gttmL). What is the flow rate in drops per minute (gtt/min)? Round your answer to the nearest 10s place. CHEM 1406/Spring 2016/DMC/Martin Mantz MS/MBA

Explanation / Answer

(1)

A physician reads IV fluids: 1000mL q8h

time = 8 hour

quantity =1000mL

rate= quantity / time

rate =1000/8 mL/h

rate = 125mL/h........Answer

(2)

we are given

IV solution delivers 25 drops /min

turbing is labelled 20 drops /mL

firstly , we will find rate

rate = (25 drops /min)/(20 drops /mL)

rate =25/20 mL/min

rate =1.25 mL/min

quantity =100mL

we know that

rate = (quantity)/(time)

time = (quantity/rate)

time =(100mL)/(1.25mL/min)

time = 80 min ............Answer

(3)

quantity =100mL

time =60 min

rate =100/60 mL/min

IV solution labelled as 20 drop /mL

so, drop rate = (100/60 mL/min)*(20 drop/mL)

drop rate = (100/60)*(20) drop/min

drop rate = 33.33 drop /min ............Answer
