a. How many mL of LR should be infused in 1 hour?
b. How many drops per minute (gtt/min) should the client receive?
Please show your step by step calculations.
ANSWERS
a. mL of Ringer lactate administered in 1 hr
Formula
ml/hr = Total volume / Total time
Here
Total volume = 1000 ml.
Total time = 6 hr.
ml / hr = 1000 /6
= 166.66 ml /hr.
b.Drops per minute (gtt /min)
Formula
Drops / min = ml / hr * drop factor / 60
Here
ml / hr = 166.66 ml.
Drop factor = 10 gtt/ min.
so = 166.66 * 10 /60
= 166.66 8 * 0.166
= 27.7 gtt /min
