Question

order is for 200 ml to infuse over 75 min with a tubing drop factor of 15 gtt/ml. what will the infuse rate be in gtt/min? round your answer to the whole number answer: check

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula for infusion rate

The formula for infusion rate (gtt/min) is $\frac{Volume\times Drop\ factor}{Time}$.
Here, Volume = 200 mL, Drop factor = 15 gtt/mL, Time = 75 min.

Step2: Substitute the values into the formula

$\frac{200\times15}{75}$.
First, calculate $200\times15 = 3000$.
Then, calculate $\frac{3000}{75}=40$.

Answer:

40
