A physician orders D5W at 600mL over 10 hours and you are using a 20gtt/ mL IV administration set. What is the drop rate in gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number)

IV Drip rate = 20.00 gtts/min (drops per minute).

explanation

if the IV Drip rate = (1500 ml * 16 gtts/ml) / (12 hours * 60) = 33 gtts per minute. Considering that intravenous fluid,be it a certain substance of just glucose, needs to be given at a specific rate, this has been decided to be measured in ml/hour or drops per min.

the ileocecal valve (also called bauhin valve), which limits the rate of food passage into the cecum and may prevent material from returning to the small intestine.

answer: the choice of providing direction for individualized care of a patient.   the care plans is a flow of communication and organizing the constantly changing of the care plan.  

hope this is

have a great day: )
