Answer #1

A patient is ordered 50 ml D5W with 1 gm of Kefzol over 30 minutes.

Drops per minute = Total volume \div time (in minutes) \times drop factor

                            = 50 ml \div 30 minutes \times 20 gtt/ml

                            = 33 drops per minute

A patient is ordered 1000 ml at 150 ml hour

Infusion time = Total volume \div flow rate

                     =1000 ml \div 150 ml

                     = 6.6 hours to infuse the solution
