The medications scheduled for your patient include Keflex 1.5 grams in 50 mL of a 5% Dextrose solution. According to the pharmacy, this preparation should be administered in 30 minutes. The IV tubing on your unit delivers 15 gtts per milliliter. What is the correct rate of flow in drops per minute?
Homework Answers
Keflex 1.5 grams in 50 mL of a 5% Dextrose solution in 30 minutes
The IV tubing on your unit delivers 15 gtts per milliliter
50ml/ 30 minutes x 15 gtts per milliliter
= 50 x 15/30 gtts/min
= 750/30 gtts/min
= 25gtts/min (correct flow in drops per minute)
