10.       A client is to receive an IVPB with 250 ml of solution over 45 minutes. The tubing gtt    factor is 60 gtt/ml.

            How many gtt/min should be given?                             

            How many ml/hr should this run?   

Explanation / Answer

  Step 1: First calculate mL/hr by dividing the total volume by the number of hours to be infused.

Here, it already given = 150 ml/hr

Step 2: Using formula :

                150 mL/hr x 60 gtts/mL

                        60 minutes                =     150 gtts/min
