Exam 18: Iv Flow Rate Calculation

Administer 36 mL in 14 minutes using a microdrip set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

The order is for 3300 mL to infuse in 17 hours using a 10 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Infuse 43 mL in 8 minutes using 20 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Infuse 7 mL in 5 minutes using a microdrip set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Administer 470 mL in 3 hours using a 10 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

The order reads: "Infuse 90 mL in 1 hour." The set is calibrated to 10 gtt/mL. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

A patient is to receive 14 mL in 12 minutes using a microdrip set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Calculate the rate (to the nearest whole number) for an infusion of 2300 mL to run over 20 hours using a 10 gtt/mL set.

Administer 125 mL in 45 minutes using a microdrip set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Infuse 75 mL over 23 minutes using a 20 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Using a 60 gtt/mL set, administer 17 mL over 21 minutes. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Infuse 50 mL in 15 minutes using a 10 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

Calculate the flow rate (to the nearest whole number) for an infusion of 2750 mL in 18 hours using a 10 gtt/mL set.

The order is to infuse 1300 mL in 8 hours using a 20 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

An IV of 750 mL was to infuse in 4 hours. After 1 hour, 300 mL has infused. Recalculate the gtt/min rate to complete the infusion on time (to the nearest whole number). A 15 gtt/mL set is being used.

A volume of 360 mL is to infuse in 2 hours using a 15 gtt/mL set. At the end of 45 minutes, you discover that 225 mL remains. Should the flow rate be adjusted? If so, what is the correct rate to complete the infusion on time?

A volume of 2100 mL is to infuse over 18 hours. Calculate the flow rate (to the nearest whole number) using a 20 gtt/mL set.

An IV infusion of 500 mL to infuse over 8 hours was started at 10 am. At 12:30 pm, there is 300 mL remaining. Recalculate the rate (to the nearest whole number) to complete the infusion on time using a 15 gtt/mL set.

The available set is calibrated to 20 gtt/mL. The ordered infusion is 1250 mL in 19 hours. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

An infusion of 230 mL was ordered to infuse in 48 minutes. After 15 minutes the volume remaining is 160 mL. Calculate the new flow rate (to the nearest whole number) to complete the infusion on time. The set delivers 15 gtt/mL.
