Question

order is for 100 ml to infuse in over 145 min with a tubing drop factor of 60 gtt/ml. what will the infuse rate be in gtt/min? round your answer to the whole number answer: check

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for infusion rate

The formula for infusion rate (gtt/min) is \(\text{Infusion rate}=\frac{\text{Volume}(mL)\times\text{Drop factor}(gtt/mL)}{\text{Time}(min)}\)

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(Volume = 100\space mL\), \(Drop\space factor=60\space gtt/mL\), \(Time = 145\space min\)
