Expert Solution

Flow rate per hour =total fluid infused/time in hour

=2000/24=83.33 ml /hour.

Drip rate in gtt/min = flow rate in minute ×drop factor.

Flow rate in minute = flow rate in hour /60=83.33/60= 1.39ml /min.

Drip rate =1.39×15=20.83 gtt /min.

3- normal saline is o.9 %w /v Nacl it means 1 litre solution contain 9 grams of Nacl so 2000ml contain 18 grams of Nacl.

4-D5W means 5 % dextrose w/v is there means 5 grams of dextrose is present in 100 ml.

So 50 grams of dextrose is there in 1000 ml so100 grams of dextrose will be there in given 2litre of solution.
