If a person gets 1400mL of intervenous fluids per day and the iv set delivers 15 drops per mL how many drops per min does he receive?

To calculate the number of drops per minute, you would multiply the amount of IV fluids per day by the number of drops per mL (1400mL/day x 15 drops/mL). Next, divide this total by the number of minutes in a day to find the drops per minute.

In an IV 100ml per hour is how many drops a minute?

For an IV rate of 100 ml per hour, you would set the IV pump to deliver 1.67 ml per minute (100 ml divided by 60 minutes). If you are using a standard IV administration set with a drip factor of 10 drops per ml, this would equal 16.7 drops per minute (1.67 ml multiplied by 10 drops). You would typically round this to the nearest whole number, so in this case, it would be 17 drops per minute.

How many drops per minute will you give if the order is 500 ml of D5W in 5 hours the drip factor is 15 gtt equals 1 ml?

To calculate the drops per minute needed for the 500 ml of D5W to be administered over 5 hours, first, convert 5 hours to minutes (5 hours x 60 minutes = 300 minutes). Then calculate the drops per minute by dividing the total volume (500 ml) by the time in minutes (300 minutes) and the drip factor (15 gtt/mL), i.e., 500 ml / 300 min x 15 gtt/mL = 25 gtt/min.

The flow rate to infuse 1000 ml of NS over 4 hours if the set delivers 10 gttsml?

If the set delivers 10 drops per ml, you want a total of 1000x10 drops of normal saline over 4 hours. This is 10000 drops and now divide that by 4 hours, but you will want the 4 hours as minutes. So 4 hours is 240 minutes. Then answer must be in the form drops per minute so divide 10000 drops by 240 minutes and the exact answer is 125/3 which is 41.67 drops per minute. We need can't measure part of a drop so round this off to 42 drops per minute. Now let's check the answer. 42 drops per minute x240 minutes=10000 drops which is 1000 ml. DONE
