The physician writes an order for an IV of 1 L Lactated Ringer’s to infuse at 150 mL / hr. The IV tubing set has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate for the gravity IV? _________ gtt / min
Answer:
Infusion rate is 150 ml/hr
To do all of these calculations in one step:
gtt/min = original order (ml/hr) x conversion hrs to mins (1 hr/60 min) x tubing (gtt/ml)
More simply:
gtt/min = (ml/hr) x (1 hr/60 min) x (gtt/ml)
(150 ml/hr) x (1 hr/60 min) x (15 gtt/ml) = 37.5 ml ~ 38 gtt/min

The physician writes an order for an IV of 1L Lactated Ringer's to infuse at 150 mL/hr. The IV tubing set has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate for the gravity IV? gtt/min (Enter the numerical value only)
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. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! 1. The order is for an IV of 1000 mL D5/0.9 NS q.12h.
