An adolescent patient is to receive 50 mL of Cefazolin IV over 40 minutes. With a tubing drop factor of 20 gtt/mL, how many drops per minute (gtt/min) should be given?
Explanation
To calculate the drops per minute for an IV infusion, we need to use the following formula:
gtt/min = (volume x drop factor) / time
In this case, the volume is 50 mL, the drop factor is 20 gtt/mL, and the time is 40 minutes. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
gtt/min = (50 x 20) / 40
gtt/min = 1000 / 40
gtt/min = 25
Therefore, the adolescent patient should receive 25 drops per minute of Cefazolin IV.
