Answer #1

ANSWER.

* Calculation of gtt/min.

       Formula

       gtt/min = Volume(ml) / Time(min) * Drop factor(gtt/ml).

       Here

              Volume(ml) = 100 ml.

               Time(min) = 60 min.

               Drop factor = 20 gtt/ml.

     As per above formula

           gtt/min = 100 / 60 * 20

                      = 1.67 * 20

                      = 33.4

                      = 33 gtt/min
