One of the uses of diazepam is as an antiepileptic that can be administered by slow IV infusion at a rate of 0.5 mg/min for 1 hour. If the infusion solution consists of 6 ml and there are 15 drops per milliliter of solution, how many drops per minute should be administered?
Homework Answers
Drops calculation is very essential while administering cautious medications and infusions to the patient. The formula for calculating drops must be clear to all nurses in the clinical side.
Here,
The volume of the infusion= 6ml
Drop factor = 15 drops
Time for the infusion = 1 hr= 60 minutes
So substituting the values to the above equation,
Drops per minute of Diazepam infusion = 6 × 15 /60
=1.5 drops
This means in one minute 1.5 drops should go to the patient and in two minutes 3 drops have to go to the patient.
