order is for 100 ml to infuse in over 50 min with a tubing drop factor of 20 gtt\\ml. what will the infuse rate be in gtt\\min? round your answer to the whole number answer:
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the formula
Infusion rate (gtt/min) = $\frac{Volume (mL)\times Drop - factor (gtt/mL)}{Time (min)}$
Step2: Substitute the values
Volume = 100 mL, Drop - factor = 20 gtt/mL, Time = 50 min. So, $\frac{100\times20}{50}$
Step3: Calculate the result
$\frac{100\times20}{50}=\frac{2000}{50}=40$
Answer:
40
