FLOW RATE - HOW MUCH AMOUNT IS ADMINISTERD IN SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME i.e 150ml/hr
DROP FACTOR - HOW MANY DROP OF FLUID FAILLING IN DRIP CHAMBER ARE EQUAL TO 1 ML OF FLUID i.e 15gtt/ml
ANS
total volume- 1l = 1000ml infuse at a rate of 150ml/hr which means whole 1l will inuse in aprox 6.6 hours
volume X flow rate = time
1000ml divide by 150ml/hr = 6.6 hours took to complete infusion
now the IV tubing set has factor of 15gtt/ml or 15drops/ml
so according to question
IV TUBING SET ( BASIC UNITARY METHOD)
1ml = 15gtt or 15 drops
150ml = 150*15 = 2250 drops
so IV TUBING SET INFUSE in 1 hours =2250 drops = 150ml
in 1hours= 60min infuse 2250gtt
; so in 1 min it will infuse= 2250gtt divide by 60min = 37.5gtt/min
IV TUBING SET (FORMULA BASED SOLUTION)
flow rate = 150ml/hr
drop factor = 15gtt/ml
flow rate in IV tubing = flow rate( physician order) X drop factor X 1h / 60 min
therfore 150ml X 15gtt X 1 hr 2250gtt
----------------------- = ------- = 37.5 gtt/ min
hr X ml X 60 min 60min
infusion rate wil be 37.5 gtt/ml
note- units can be cancel if they are in the divide

A nurse is preparing to administer lactated ringer's 1500mL IV to infuse at 50mL/hr. The drop factor of the manual IV is 15gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? ROund the answer to the nearest whole number.
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. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! 1. The order is for an IV of 1000 mL D5/0.9 NS q.12h.
