Q1. Order: Doxycycline 50 mg IVPB in D5W 100 mL over 1 hr. Drop factor: 15 gtt/mL. What is the rate in gtt/min?  ______________________________

The calculation formula to find out rate in gtt/min is,

Volume to be infused (mL) / Time (Minutes) X gtt per mL = gtt per minute

  • Volume to be infused - 100 mL
  • Time - 1 hr (60 minutes)
  • Drop factor - 15 gtt per mL

100 mL / 60 minutes X 15 gtt per mL = 25 gtt per minute

The answer is 25 gtt per minute

Q2. Order: Erythromycin 200 mg in 250 mL D5W to infuse over 1 hr. Drop factor: 10 gtt/mL. What is the rate in gtt/min?  ______________________________

The calculation formula to find out rate in gtt/min is,

Volume to be infused (mL) / Time (Minutes) X gtt per mL = gtt per minute

  • Volume to be infused - 250 mL
  • Time - 1 hr (60 minutes)
  • Drop factor - 10 gtt per mL

250 mL / 60 minutes X 10 gtt per mL = 41.66 gtt per minute

the answer is 41.66 gtt per minute
