Answer #1

Drops per minute (gtts/min) is 33

the formula used is

amount of fluid (in ml) divided by time (in min) multiplied by drip factor (gtt/ml).

given here,

amount of fluid is 100c.c that is 100 ml

Time - 1 hour that is equal to 60 minutes.

drip factor is 20gtt/ml

so, 100/60*20 = 33.3 which is rounded to nearest whole number

so the answer is 33.
