Question

A physician orders D5W at 600mL over 10 hours and you are using a 20gtt/ mL IV administration set. What is the drop rate in gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number)

Answer 1

There work is correct 20 is the answer hope this helps

Answer 2

20 gtt/min

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be set on a formula I attached below (that's circled) you will have to turn hrs -> mins (which is easy in this case 10x 60 = 600 mins ), so you will multiply 600 mL x 20 gtt/mL and then divide it by 600 minutes to have 20 gtt/min.
