A volume of 2000 mL is to infuse at 175 mL/hr using an IV set with drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. The infusion was started at 21:35. Calculate : a) gtt/min; b ) infusion time; c) completion time
ANSWER
a) gtt/min.
Formula = mL /hr * drop factor / 60 minutes
Volume = 2000ml.
Infusion = 175 mL /hr
Drop factor = 15 gtt /min
gtt / min = 175 * 15 / 60
= 43.75 gtt / min.
b. Infusion time
Formula = Total volume (ml) / flow rate (ml/hr)
Total volume = 2000 ml
Infusion time = 175 ml/hr
= 2000 / 175
= 11.43 hr.
c. Completion time
* It is the amount of time taken for completion of IV infusion.
* Infusion was started at 21:35.
* So the completion time = 21:35 pm + infusion time.
= 21.35 pm + 11.43 hrs
= 9.20 am

Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified. PLEASE HELP WITH 16 NURSING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 1.
