Calculation
The healthcare provider has ordered D5W 1,250 mL IV to be infused over 10 hours. The drop factor is 15 gtt/mL. What is the drip rate in gtt/min? Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to the nearest whole number.
gtt/min
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1: Volume = 1,250 Step 2: Time = 10 hr × 60 = 600 min Step 3: Drop factor = 15 Step 4: Drops/min = (1,250 × 15) ÷ 600 = 18,750 ÷ 600 = 31.25 ≈ 31
