A PHYSICIAN ORDERS 2,000 ML OF LACTATED RINGER’S SOLUTION TO
INFUSE IN A 24-HOUR-PERIOD. THE DROP FACTOR OF THE INFUSION SET IS
20 GTT/ML. WHAT IS THE FLOW RATE?
The doctor orders an IV infusion of D5W 1000 mL to infuse over
the next 8 hours. The IV set delivers 15 gtt/min. What is the
correct rate of flow?_____gtts/min.
(Answer in gtt/min rounded to the nearest whole number).
1.
500mL of D5W to infuse over 1.5 hours. What rate (mL/hr) should the
nurse set the IV pump
2. 500mL of D5W to infuse over 150 minutes. What rate should
the nurse set the infusion pump
3. patient is be given 750ml of a D5W over a 6 hour period at
20 gtt/ml. What will be the drop rate
1000 mL of ½ NS is to infuse at 50 mL/hr. Determine the infusion
time. (In hours)
The IV was started at 8:30 a.m. At what time will the IV
infusion be completed?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
1.2 L of NS is to infuse at 83 mL/hr. Determine the infusion
time. (In hours & minutes).
The IV was started at 9:45 p.m. At what time will the IV
infusion be completed?
the doctor orders 1000mL D10W to infuse at 100 mL/hr.
The nurse starts the IV at 2030. At 2200, the IV rate is increased
to 125 mL/ hr per doctor's orders. Starting with the amount of IV
of IV fluid left at 2200, calculate the new infusion time and the
completion time of the IV
D5W 1000 mL is to infuse over 10 hours. Using tubing with a 60
gtt/mL drip factor, how many drops per minute should the IV fluids
be infused? ______________gtt/min
