Answer 1

1.

Order dose 0.2 L in 16 minutes

0.2 L = 200 ml

Drop factor 10 gtt/ml

200ml - 16 min = 12.5ml/min

12.5ml/min x 60min = 750 ml/hr

Answer - The nurse should set the infusion pump at 750 ml per hour.

2.

Order dose 500 ml from 0015 to 0415. (500ml in 4 hours)

Drop factor 20 gtt/ml

Drop calculation formula is = (Total volume in ml $\div$ Time in Minutes) $\times$ Drop factor

means 42 drops

(500 ml = 240min) x 20gtt/ml = 41.6

Answer - Nurse should infuse 42 drops per minutes

3.

Order dose 18 ml per hour

The total available quantity of 250 ml

250ml = 18ml/h x 60min = 833min

Answer - Infusion will be completed in 13 hours and 53 minutes.

4.

Order dose 175 ml per hour

After 10 hours

175ml/h x 10h = 1750ml

Answer - 1750 ml
