Order: D5W at KVO (30 mL/hr) Tubing has a drop factor of 10 gtts/mL. Set gravity drip at ___?

Expert Solution

The formula for calculating flow rate is as follows:-

Ammount to be infused x drop factor devided by total time in minutes

According to formula

Ammount to be infused=30ml

Drop factor=10gtt

Total time in minutes=60 min.

After applying the formula

30x10÷60=5 gtt/min

GRAVITY DROP AT 5 gtt/min
