Question

A nurse is preparing to administer ampicillin 500 mg in 50 ml of dextrose 5% in water (d5w) to infuse over 15 min. the drop factor of the manual iv tubing is 10 gtt/ml. the nurse should set the manual iv infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer 1

Given:

Volume to be infused = 50 ml

Time period = 15 min

Drop factor = 10 gtt/ml

To determine:

Flow rate in gtt/min

Explanation:

Flow rate = volume infused * drop factor/time

                = 50 ml * 10 gtt.ml-1/ 15 min = 33.33 gtt/min

Ans: Flow rate = 33 gtt/min

Answer 2

The study of chemicals is called chemistry. There are two types of solution in the chemistry and these are acid and base.

The correct answer is 33.33

What are moles?

• The mole is the base unit of the amount of substance in the International System of Units.

• It is defined as exactly 6.02214076×10²³ elementary entities, which may be atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons.

The data is given as follows:-

• Volume to be infused = 50 ml
• Time period = 15 min
• Drop factor = 10 gtt/ml

The formula is as follows:-

Flow rate = $volume\ infused * drop\ \frac{factor}{time}$

$= 50 ml * 10 gtt.ml-1/ 15 min = 33.33 gtt/min$

Hence, the correct answer is 33.33
