Question

complete the following calculation of iv flow rate.

the answer is drops per minute.
(round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert hours to minutes

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, for a time of 2 hours, the number of minutes is \(2\times60 = 120\) minutes.

Step2: Use the IV flow - rate formula

The formula for IV flow rate (drops per minute) is \(\text{Flow rate}=\frac{\text{Amount of fluid (mL)}\times\text{Drop factor (drops/mL)}}{\text{Time (minutes)}}\).
Substitute the values: amount of fluid \(V = 600\) mL, drop factor \(D = 60\) drops/mL, and time \(t=120\) minutes.
