Order: D5W to infuse at 100 mL/hr. Drop factor: 10 gtt/mL. At what rate in gtt/min should the IV be regulated?
 
  Record the answer rounding to the nearest whole number.

Question 2

An IV of 1,000 mL D5 1/2 NS is to infuse from 0800 to 1600 (8 hr). The drop factor is 10 gtt/mL. The rate is set at 20 gtt/min. In 5 hours you notice that 700 mL has infused. Recalculate the flow rate for the remaining solution in gtt/min.
 
  Record the answer rounding to the nearest whole number.

gtt/min = 100 mL X 10 gtt/mL divided by 60 min =16.6 = 17 gtt/min

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 17 gtt/min
gtt/min = 100 mL/hr/6 = 16.6 = 17 gtt/min
