Answer #1

A client has the following order Infuse 100 ml NS over 40 minutes. You will be using a gravity system that has a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL How many gtt/min will you infuse?

  • gtt/min =      mL/hr X drop factor     

60 (minutes)

100 ml NS over 40 minutes

= 100ml/40

= 2.5 ml/ minute

= 2.5 x 60

= 150ml/hr

= 150ml/hr x 10 gtt/mL/60 (minutes)

= 1500/60 gtt/min

= 25 gtt/min
