An IV solution of Zosyn 3.375 g in 50 mL Normal Saline (NS) is to run over 30 minutes. What is the flow rate if the drop factor is 15 gtt/mL?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Answer:

Given Volume = 50 mL

Time = 30 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtt /mL

FORMULA:

Flow Rate ( gtt / min ) ( Volume ( mL) Time ( min) ) Drop factor ( gtt /mL)

= ( 50 mL 30 min ) 15 gtt /mL

= ( 1.66 mL / min ) 15 gtt /mL

= 25 gtt / min.

Flow Rate 25 gtt / min.
