These are the answers my group and I got. Please make any corrections.
p.1175 (text). Microdrip = 60 gtt/mL, Macrodrip = 15gtt/mL, or 10gtt/mL. flow rate = gtt/min, drop factor = gtt/mL
1. 35gtt/min
2. 42gtt/min
3. 14gtt/min
4. 75min or 1hr 15min
5. 10 gtt/min
6. 180 gtt/min
7. 360 min or 6hr, 0910 military time
8. 25hr or 1500min, 10 gtt/min, 1510 military time 08/25, 6gtt/min
9. 31 gtt/min
10. 570 min or 9.5hr

can you please post the questions if it is not too much of a pain.
OK. Here you go. Good Luck.
1. 2500mL of D5W to infuse over a period of 12hrs. Drop factor:10gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate.
2. 1000mL to infuse at a 6hr rate. Infusion set - 15 gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate.
3. 100mL D5W to infuse in 24hrs. Infusion set - 20gtt/mL. Calculate the flow rate.
4. 150mL to infuse at 30gtt/min using a 15gtt/mL set. How long will it take to infuse?
5. two packs (125mL each) of packed RBC to infuse in 4hours using a 10gtt/mL set. What will be the flow rate in order to infuse on time?
6. 75mL IVPB to infuse in 25min using a microdrip set. Calculate the flow rate.
7. A volume of 150mL of NS is to infuse at 25mL/hr. Calculate the infusion time.
The IV was started at 3:10am. what time will the IV be complete. State in military time.
1000mL is to infuse at 40mL/hr. Determine the infusion time.
Drip set:15gtt/mL. Determine the flow rate.
The IV was started at 2:10PM on 8/24. when would the IV be completed?
You start your shift. You notice at 1810 that the IV has 500mL to go. Recalculate the flow rate (gtt/min) in order for the IV to be completed on time.
9. 1000mL was to infuse in 12hrs at 28gtt/min. After 4hrs, 250mL has infused. Drop factor:20gtt/mL. Recalculate gtt/min in order to infuse on time.
10. 950mL RL is restarted at 25gtt/min using a 15gtt/mL set. Calculate the infusion time.
thank you so much. I did not realize that it was alot to write. Sorry but I really do appreciate it.
hi blessie! thank you for taking the time post the questions and the answers. goodluck tomorrow
No problem. I need to practice typing anyways.
There are different settings or drop factors for IV infusion therapy. You have Microdrip and a Macrodrip. Microdrip is fixed at 60gtt/mL. Macrodrip delivers 10gtt/mL, 15gtt/mL, & 20gtt/mL. To answer #6 you need to know that microdrip is 60gtt/mL. That's the extent of my knowledge. I hope this helps.
Thanks a lot, Blessie !
Practice question on DA book CH17 starting with #15.
