A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (d5w) 150 ml iv to infuse over 3 hr. the drop factor of the manual iv tubing is 10 gtt/ml.
Amount of solution to infused=250 ml
Time to be infused = 4 hours
=(4*60)=240 minutes
Drop factor=60gtt/ml
=60gtt/ml
Drip rate in gtt/min=? (calculation)
Drip rate = volume * drop factor
time(minute)
=62.5 gtt/ml
Drip rate=62.5gtt/ml=62gtt/ml
