Answer #1

Required rate of infusion per hour is 75ml/hr.

The required rate of infusion per minute = (required rate per hour )/ 60

which is 75/60 = 1.25ml/min

Available tube delivers 10gtt/ml.

The required gtt/min is gtt required for 1.25ml

As 10 gtt are required for 1ml.

1.25ml requires 12.5gtt or 12.5 drops..

The required gtt/min = 12.5 which on rounding to nearest whole number becomes 13gtt/min.

The nurse should set the infusion pump to 13 gtt/min.

Hope this helps you. Please feel free to give a like and contact us if you need further explanation. Thank you and have a great day.
