Answer #1

Infusion fluid amount = 1000ml, drop factor = 20gtt/ml

Rate of infusion = 45 gtt/min = 45/20 = 2.25 ml/minute

The Infusion started at 16.15 hours. By 23: 45 hours,

it will be 7 hours 30 minutes or 450 minutes

So the amount of fluid the patient received = 2.25 x 450 =1012.5 ml

The patient received 1000ml NS by 23:45
