question 9 of 10
the order reads 370 ml over 2 hours. calculate the drip rate using a tubing factor of 15 gtt/ml. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
enter your answer:
gtt/min
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert hours to minutes

$2 \text{ hours} = 2 \times 60 = 120 \text{ minutes}$

Step2: Apply drip rate formula

$\text{Drip rate} = \frac{\text{Volume (mL)} \times \text{Tubing factor (gtt/mL)}}{\text{Time (minutes)}} = \frac{370 \times 15}{120}$

Step3: Calculate and round

$\frac{5550}{120} = 46.25 \approx 46$ gtt/min

Answer:

46
