CHEM 1406/ MEDICAL DOSAGE HOMEWORK #11 , CHAPTER 11/ 5 POINTS NAME: CHEM 1406. Calculating Flow Rates for Intravenous Medications Directions: Show your work on these five problems. Show logical setups and please be neat DUE BY: DMC and orderly. #01. (1 pt) A physician's order reads the following: fluids: 1000 mL q8h. Calculate the flow rate in mL/h. Do not round off #02. (1 pt) An IV-solution is set up to deliver 25 drops per minute (i.e. 25 gt/min) and the tubing is labeled 20 drops per mL. How many minutes will it take to deliver 100 mL of this IV solution? 1 pt) A patient receives 100 mL of an IV-solution over the course of 60 minutes. The tubing from the IV-solution is labeled as 20 drops per ml (le. 20 gttmL). What is the flow rate in drops per minute (gttmin)? Round your answer to the nearest 10 place. #03. ( O Mavorga M.S

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1. We have, 1000 mL and time = 8 hours.

Therefore, q= 1000 mL/8h = 125 mL/h.

Ans 2. No of drops in 100 mL = 100*20 = 2000 drops

Drops per minute = 25

Therefore, time taken for 2000 drops = 2000/25 = 80 minutes.

Ans 3. We have , I = 100mL/60 minutes

Also, drops per mL, A = 20 gtt/mL

Therefore , flow rate = I * A = 100*20/60 gtt/minute = 33.33 gtt/min == 30 gtt/min.
