Answer #1

Given that,

Infusing rate = 20 macrogtt/min

Drop factor = 15 gtt.mL

The volume of IV solution = 150 mL

macrogtt/min = 1000 ml x 15 gtt/min / TIME

Time* 20 macrogtt/min = 150 ml* 15gtt/min

Time = 2250/20 min

Time = 112.5 minutes. Means, 1 hour 52.5 minutes

In the military time, it can be written as, 0152, means, 1 hour 52 minutes.
