Answer 1

Answer #1

3 liters of IV Lactated Ringers is given over 12 hours. Drop factor 15gtt/ml.

After 9 hours there are 1500 ml remains

This means we have to administer another 1500 ml in 3 hours because (the order dose was 3000 ml over 12 hours).

The formula for drop calculation is.

(Total volume in ml $\div$ Time in Minutes) $\times$ Drop factor

$1500ml\div 180min\times 15gtt/ml=125 drops/min$

Answer - 125 drops per minute required to finish IV in time.
