An IV solution of 320 mL at a drip rate of 25 gtt/min using a tubing factor of 10 gtt/mL has been ordered to be initiated at 1145. Calculate the infusion time. (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.)

Respuesta :

The infusion time for the IV solution that was prescribed = 128 mins.

Calculation of IV infusion time

To calculate the infusion time the formula for IV drip rate is used which is;

Drip rate = volume/time × Drop factor

Drip rate = 25gtt/min

Volume = 320mL

Drop factor= 10 gtt/mL

Time = ?

From the formula above, make time the subject of formula. That is,

Time = vol × drop factor/drip rate

= 320 × 10/25

= 3200/25

= 128 mins

Therefore, the infusion time for the IV solution that was prescribed = 128 mins
