If 1 L of a parental fluid is to be infused over a 12 hr period using an infusion set that delivers 20 drops/mL, what should be the rate of flow in drops per minute? Round to the nearest whole number.

Expert Solution

Given the volume of iv fluid =1L (1000 ml)

Time = 12hrs

Drop factor =20drops / ml

By the equation

Infusion rate (R) =

volume of fluid × drop factor/(time in hrs×60)

R= 1000 × 20 / ( 12× 60)

R= 20000/720

R= 27.77( rounded to whole number)

Then R = 28

Thus rate of flow = 28 drop per min .

A medication order calls for the following premixed IV fluid to be infused at 125 mL/hr. The maximum recommended rate of infusion for KCl through a peripheral line is 10mEq/hr. To check that this infusion which is running at a rate of 125 mL/hr is below the maximum recommended rate, calculate the infusion rate of KCl in mEq/hr. Please round the final answer to two decimal places, except no trailing zeros.
