10 mL of 10% calcium chloride injection and 10 mL of multivitamin infusion are mixed with 500 mL of a 5% dextrose injection. The infusion is to be administered over 5 hours. If the dropper in the set calibrates 15 drops/mL, at what rate, in drops per minute, should the flow be adjusted to administer the infusion over the desired time interval? Round to nearest whole number.

Expert Solution

Volume of 10% calcium chloride injection = 10mL

Volume of multivitamin infusion = 10mL

Volume of 5% dextrose injection = 500mL

Total volume to be administered = 520mL

Total Time (desired time interval) = 5hours

Desired time in minutes = 300min

Drop factor = 15 drops/mL

Rate of infusion (mL/min) = total volume in mL / time in minutes

= 520mL / 300min

= 1.7mL/min

Rate of infusion in mL/ min = 1.7mL/min

Drop factor = 15drops / mL

There for drops in 1.7 mL = 15drops/mL * 1.7

= 25.5 drops/1.7mL

Rate of infusion in Drops / min = 25.5 drops/min

Question : at what rate, in drops per minute, should the flow be adjusted to administer the infusion over the desired time interval?

Answer : 25.5 drops/ min.

Question : Round to nearest whole number

Answer : 26drops/ min
