Answer to Question 1

20 mcgtts/min

Global rationale: First convert the dose from mcg to mg or 0.033 mg/min. Then multiply the dose per minute by 60 or 1.98 mg/hr. Then use the equation 1.98 mg/hr x 1000 ml/100 mg = 19.8 mL/hr. If 60 mcgtts = 1 mL then the client will receive 19.8 mL x 60 mcgtts = 1180 mcgtts/hr. Dividing by 60 minutes, the client will receive 19.8 or 20 mcgtts/min.
