Answer #1

33. flow rate gtts/min= ml/minutes. x drop factor

Time = 23:45-16:15= 7 hrs 30 min

= 450 minutes

45= (ml/450X 20)

45X 450= mlX 20

20250/20= ml

= 1012.5 ml the patient will recive at 23:45

34.heparin= 500ml containing 50000 units

= 50000/500

= 100 units/ml running at 12 ml per hour

in 7 hours he will recieve = 12X 7=  84 ml= 8400 units
