minutes do you want?

Answer 1

To administer cefotaxime 1 gram in 100 ml over 20 minutes using a standard giving set, you need to deliver 100 drops per minute with the set delivering 20 drops per ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of drops per minute you need to administer cefotaxime 1 gram in 100 ml over 20 minutes with a standard giving set that delivers 20 drops per ml, you would perform the following calculation:

1. First, calculate the total number of drops for the entire 100 ml infusion: 100 ml x 20 drops/ml = 2000 drops.
2. Then, divide the total number of drops by the total administration time in minutes: 2000 drops / 20 minutes = 100 drops per minute.

Therefore, you will need to administer 100 drops per minute to deliver 1 gram of cefotaxime in 100 ml over 20 minutes with the given standard giving set.
