Question

10. Both mL/hr and cc/hr represent the total amount of fluid given per hour. Calculate the fluid/hour for a 1.0 LIV

solution set to flow for 10 hours.

11. Calculate the drops/min for Question 10 if the drop factor is 20 gtts/cc.

Answer 1

• 100mL/hr
• 33.3gtts/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 10:

We know that the answer will be Volume over Time so we can substitute the values we are given and simplify.

Volume is 1000.

Time is 10 hours.

1000/10 = 100mL/hr

Question 11:

We can do the same thing we did in the previous question but use minute and multiply by the drop factor. [ Volume(mL)/Time(min) * drop factor ].

1000/600 * 20 ≈ 33.3gtts/min

Best of Luck!
