Q.1

1/2 NS= 500ml

Over = 6 hours

Drop factor= 20

Formula= Amount of fluid *drop factor/ time*min

= 500*20/6×60

= 27.77 drops/min

That is 28drops/min.

Q.2:

Order

D5 NS= 750ml

Time 6 hours

Drop factor 10

Formula= amount of fluid×drop factor/time×min

= 750×10/ 6×60

= 20.8 drops/ min

That is

21 drops /min.
