Answer 1

A. 1 hour and 16 minutes

Explanation:

There are 250 mL of D5W infusing at 33 gtt/min on IV tubing calibrated at 10 gtt/mL. Calculate the infusion time.

select "No IV pump"

volume = 250 mL

rate = 33 gtt/min

calibration = 10 gtt/mL

Actual formula:

250 /( 33 gtt/min

10x 60)= 1.26 Hours

0.26 x 60 = 16 minutes

So 1.26 Hours = 1 Hour & 16 minutes
