________________________________________


synovial fluid is considered a transcellular fluid. Extracellular fluid is located outside the cells. Interstitial

fluid is located outside the blood vessels.


A health care provider prescribes 2 L of intravenous fluid over 6 hours using gravity-flow tubing and a

macrodrip with a drop factor of 10 for a patient who has been vomiting. Calculate the minute flow rate

of the infusion in gtt/min.Round to nearest whole number. - Answer✔✔-56


-------------------------------


the minute flow rate is calculated as (mL/hr)(drop factor/60 mins)=gtt/min. The flow rate of the

intravenous fluid is 2L or 2000 mL for 6 hours, and the srop factor is 10. Therefore the minute flow rate is

: (2000/6)(10/60)=55.56. Rounds up to 56


Which clinical condition will the nurse assess for in the patient complaining of frequent headaches and
