Questions And Actual Answers.
750 mL was to infuse over 5 hours via a 15 drop/mL set. After 3 hours, 400 mL remains to be infused.
What will you reset the flow rate (drop/min) to in order to complete the infusion on time? (Round
answer to the nearest whole number.) - Answer because it is asking for drops per min the unit of
answer is drops it will start with the drop factor of 15 drop/ml. Next it will be the remaining volume of
fluid and the time remaining which is 5hrs - 3hrs = 2hrs
15d/ml X 400ml/2hrs X 1hr/60min = 6000/ 120=50
or
5hrs - 3hrs = 2hrs 2hrs x 60 min = 120min
400ml divided by 120min x 15drops= 49.999 = 50
