Total volume of fluid to be infused = 70 ml
Drip rate = 10 gtt/ mt
Tubing factor = 15 gtt /ml
Infusion time
= Total volume (ML) / flow rate x Tubing factor
= 70 ml / 10 gtt/mt x 15
= 105 minutes ( 1 hour 45 minutes) .
In the given equation the Total amount of fluid to be infused is 70 ml, the drip rate refers to amount of drop to be flow per minute is 10 gtt, the callibration/drop factor/tubing factor given is 15 gtt.
As the formula explains to identify the infusion time , the toatl volume of fluid to be infused is divided by the flow rate multiply by the tubing factor.
The infusion time is 105 minutes.
IV Drug Calculations Using microdrip rate (60tt/mL), determine the gtt/min & mL/hr for each of the following. Round to the nearest tenth for the mL/hr An IV medication of 75mg/ 3 mL is ordered to give 55mL over 45 minutes. 1.

An IV of 800 mL was to infuse over 8 hours at 20 gtt/min. After 4 hours and 20 minutes only 300 mLs have infused. Recalculate the gtt/min rate to complete the infusion on time using tubing labeled 15 gtt/mL.
2.083 ml/min x 60= 124.99 = 125 gtt/min Note: whenever you have a drop factor of 60, seeing there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, the gtt/min will be the same as ml/hr. Microdrop = 60gtt Problems: 0) (15) An IVPB of kefzol 500mg in 50ml of 5% dextrose in water to be administered over 20 minute's period! The tubing has a drop factor of 15 drops-per minute. The nurse should regulate the infusion pump to run at? ---
Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified. PLEASE HELP WITH 16 NURSING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 1.
