Calculate drop/min

• 125drop/min

• 21drop/min

• 63mls/h

• 63drop/min

Answer explanation

Formula to calculate drop/minutes:

volume to be infused x drop factor of iv giving set

---

minutes over which the volume to be infused

IV Dext 50% in 50mls stat, run over 15mins

Calculate mls/ H

• 160mls/h

• 200mls/H

• 20mls/h

Answer explanation

Formula to calculate mls/hr:

volume to be infused

---

---

time (hour) to be infused

convert Minutes to Hour:

minutes/ 60min(1h)

E.G: 100mls N/saline to infuse over 15minutes

100mls/ (15/60)

=100mls / 0.25H

=400mls/H
