Solutions

Expert Solution

The rate ordered is is, 2 L of 0.9% Normal Saline, and the infusion rate is, 115 ml/hr (1 hour = 60 minutes)

The available tubing delivers 20 gtt/mL (drop factor)

Formula for gtt/min: mL/hr X drop factor = gtt/min.

Thus, the rate of infusion is = 115 mL/ 60 minuts * 20 gtt/mL = 38.33 gtt/min or 38 gtt/min
