Answer 1

Ans--

1. 250ml infuse over 30 min

So deliver  500ml/ hour

2 . 1 liter infuse 12 hour

So iv pump deliver 83.33ml/hour (approximately 80ml/ hour)

3. Formula use to calculate drop factor

gtt/min =fluid in ml × drop factor / time in minutes

100ml/hour,so 1000ml infuse in 10 hour

gtt/min = 1000×15/600

Ans is 25gtt/min

4. 250ml infuse over 6 hour

So 41 ml is infuse in 1 hour means 41ml/hour

5. Cefepime 1g in 0.9% Sodium Chloride 100 mL to infuse over 20 minutes.

So 300 ml infuse in 1 hour

300ml/hour

6. gtt/min= 1000×10/240

Ans approximately 41gtt/ml

7. administer 0.9% Sodium Chloride 1,000mL IV to infuse over 24 hours.

Ans approximately 41ml/hour

8. gtt/min =500ml ×25/360

Ans 34.72gtt/ml
