Vancomycin 2 g in 300 mL IV fluid is to run in over 1 ½ hours using a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. What is the flow rate?

Expert Solution

Flow rate = volume (ml) × drop factor(gtt/ml) ÷ time (min).

Flow rate = 300 × 15 ÷ 90 (1.5 hours = 90 min).

= 4500÷ 90

= 50.

The flow rate is 50 gtt/min.

A medication order calls for the following premixed IV fluid to be infused at 125 mL/hr. The maximum recommended rate of infusion for KCl through a peripheral line is 10mEq/hr. To check that this infusion which is running at a rate of 125 mL/hr is below the maximum recommended rate, calculate the infusion rate of KCl in mEq/hr. Please round the final answer to two decimal places, except no trailing zeros.
