Your patient is a 58 year old female with severe shortness of breath with wheezing. Medical command orders magnesium sulfate 2 grams in 100 mL over 10 minutes. you choose a macro drip set (10gtt/mL)
Magnesium Sulfate on hand 5 grams / 10 mL.
How many gtt/min are needed to administer 100 mL over
10 minutes?
How many gtt/min are needed to administer 100 mL over 10 minutes if you were to use a 60 gtt/mL drip set?
Homework Answers
Answer ;
Available volume is 100 ml ,
Given time is 10 mins and the drop factor is 10 gtt / ml
By applying the values in the basic formula, it would be
100 x 10 / 10 = 100
Hence to administer 100 ml over 10 minutes in a macro drip it would be 100 gtt / min
If the drop factor is changed to 60 gtt/ ml it would be 100 x 60 / 10 = 600 gtt / min

A 17 year old student complained of wheezing and shortness of breath, especially at night. He was known to be allergic to feathers and house dust. Physical examination revealed inspiratory and expiratory rales and hyperresonance with percussion of the chest but no cyanosis. Radiologic examination suggested over-inflation of the lungs, but no localized disease. The following laboratory and pulmonary function test values were obtained: Vital Capacity 2,800 ml (decreased) Functional Residual Capacity 4,420 ml (increased) Total Lung Capacity 7,050 ml...
