Aclient has an order for 500 ml of ns over 3 hours. the drop factor is 15 gtt/ml. how many gtt/min should be given?

42 gtt/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of fluid to be infused = 500 mL

Time = 3 hours = 3×60 = 180 minutes

Tubing drop factor/mL = 15 gtt/mL

Fussion rate = (Amount of fluid to be infused / time in minutes)

Fussion rate = 500/180 = 2.78 mL/min

gtt/min = Tubing drop factor/mL× Fusion rate

⇒gtt/min = 15×(500/180)

⇒gtt/min = 15×(25/9)

⇒gtt/min = 125/3

⇒gtt/min = 41.67

⇒gtt/min = 42

∴42 drops/min (gtt/min) should be given.

step-by-step explanation:

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.
