An IV solution of 1000ml 5% dextrose in water is to be infused at 125ml/hr to correct a client's fluid imbalance. The infusion set delivers 15 gtts/ml. To ensure that the solution will infuse over an 8-hour period, at how many drops per minute should the nurse set the rate of flow? Answer in gtt/min, round to nearest whole number.
Total volume :1000ml
Infusion rate:125ml/hr
Time:8 hour
Drop factor :15gtt /ml
Flow rate=Total volume ×Drop factor÷Time×60
=1000×15÷8×60
=31.25 or 31 gtt /min
The nurse has to set the flow rate at 31 gtt/min
