An administration set delivering 10 drops per mL was used to administer 100 mL of D5W over a two-hour period. Calculate the rate of delivery in drops/minute.
Drop factor - 10gtt/ml
Total volume - 100ml of D5W
Total time - 2hrs = 120min
Flow rate = Total volume /Total time × Drop factor
= 100ml/120 min × 10gtt/ml
= 100/120× 10
= 8.3drops/min
