Answer:

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min rounded to 17 gtts/min</u>

Explanation:

In order to calculate the flow rate, the following formula will be used.

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

50 mL of fluid in which Ciprofloxacin is dissolved is taken as volume.

<u>KNOWN DATA:</u>

Volume = 50mL

Time = 45 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL

Flow rate = unknown

<u>CALCULATION:</u>

Plugging the known values in the formula,

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

Flow rate = \frac{50}{45} x 15

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min.</u>
