Detailed explanation-1: -Question 3. Volume= 300ml Time = 6 hours Flow rate in ml/hr = 300/6= 50ml/hr Question 4. Volume= 2liter= 2000ml Time= 48 hours Flow rate in ml / hr= 2000ml/48hr=41.66ml/hr Question 5. Volume= 100ml Time= 30 min=30/60hr= 0.5hr So flow rate in ml/hr=…
Detailed explanation-2: -The drop factor is commonly around 15 gtt/mL. Taking note that 1 liter of normal saline equals 1, 000 mL, and time should always be 60 minutes. Depending on the physician’s order, time should be multiplied by 60 minutes. In this case, 60 minutes will be multiplied by 8.
Detailed explanation-3: -To calculate milliliters per hour, simply divide the total volume (250 mL) by the number of hours (4 hours). Therefore, 250 mL/4 hours = 62.5 mL. Round off to the nearest whole number: 63 mL/hour. The physician ordered 1000 mL NS to infuse over 10 hours with a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL.
