Question

question 14 0.67 pts a puppy is receiving 20 ml/h with a mini drip set. how many gtt/min are administered?

Explanation:

Step1: Know the drop - factor of mini drip set

The drop - factor of a mini drip set is 60 gtt/ml (drops per milliliter).

Step2: Convert the flow rate from ml/h to gtt/min

First, convert the hourly flow rate to a minute - ly flow rate. We have 20 ml/h. To convert it to ml/min, divide by 60: $\frac{20}{60}=\frac{1}{3}$ ml/min.
Then, multiply the ml/min by the drop - factor. Since the drop - factor is 60 gtt/ml, the number of drops per minute (gtt/min) is $\frac{1}{3}\times60 = 20$ gtt/min.

Answer:

20
