The physician wrote an order is to infuse 500 mL of D5W at 125 cc/hr. The drop factor is 15 gtt/ml. What is the flow rate in gtt/min?

500 gtt/min

31 gtt/min

32 gtt/min

50 gtt/min

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer - D5W Infusion solution = 500 ml

Infusion rate = 125 cc per hour

Infusion rate ml per minutes = 125 /60

= 2.08 ml per minute

Drop factor = 15 gtt per ml

1 ml = 15 drop

So 2.08 ml = 15 ×2.08

= 31. 2 gtt

Flow rate gtt per min = 31. 2 gtt per minute

So here correct answer is 31 gtt per minute
