Dosage calculation (hellen fluid college) ( 63 Questions)
Question 1 of 63 :
Find the total volume to administer. ___________.
Ordered: D5W @ 20 gtt/min over 6 h via 60 gtt/ml tubing 120 mL
Correct Answer: 120
Given values:
Flow rate = 20 gtt/min
Infusion time = 6 hours
Drop factor = 60 gtt/mL
- Convert the infusion time from hours to minutes.
Infusion time in minutes = 6 hours × 60 minutes/hour
= 360 minutes.
- Calculate the total volume in milliliters (mL) using the formula:
Total Volume (mL) = (Flow rate (gtt/min) × Infusion time (min)) / Drop factor (gtt/mL)
= (20 gtt/min × 360 min) / 60 gtt/mL
= 7200 / 60
= 120 mL.
