Instructions: Solve the problem. Remember to round off the answer to the nearest whole number,
because fractions of a drop are to be avoided when calculating IV drip rates.
Order: 1000 mL 0.9% NaCl with 20 mEq KCL to run 8 hours.
Available: 1 liter (1000 mL) 0.9% NaCl with 20 mEq KCL added; infusion tubing labeled 15 gtt per mL, gtt
per minute. - Answer 31
1000 mL / 8 hour = 125 mL per hour125 mL / 1 × 15 gtt/mL / 60 minute = 31.25 gtt/min = 31 gtt per
minute
Solve the following problem. Remember to round off the answer to the nearest whole number, because

Order: 1000 mL to be infused for 12 hours on micro drip, gtt per minute. - Answer 83
1000 mL / 12 hour = 83.3 mL/hr = 83 mL per hour83 mL / 1 × 60 gtt/mL / 60 minute = 83 gtt per minute
