Problem 50
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV of D5W \(500 \mathrm{~mL}\) was ordered to infuse over \(10 \mathrm{hr}\) at a rate of \(13 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}(13\) macrogtt \(/ \mathrm{min})\) Drop factor: \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) After \(3 \mathrm{hr}\), you notice that \(300 \mathrm{~mL}\) of IV solution is left. Recalculate the rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the remaining solution. Determine the percentage of change in IV rate, and state your course of action.
Problem 51
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV of D5W \(1,000 \mathrm{~mL}\) was ordere to infuse over \(8 \mathrm{hr}\) at a rate of \(42 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}(42\) macrogtt \(/ \mathrm{min})\) Drop factor: \(20 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) After \(4 \mathrm{hr}\), you notice that only \(400 \mathrm{~mL}\) has infused. Recalculate the rate in gtt/min for the remaining solution. Determine the percentage of change, and state your course of action.
Problem 52
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV of \(1,000 \mathrm{~mL}\) D5 \(1 / 2 \mathrm{NS}\) has been ordered to infuse at \(125 \mathrm{~mL} / \mathrm{hr}\). Drop factor: \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) The IV was hung at 7 AM. At 11 AM, you check the IV, and there is \(400 \mathrm{~mL}\) left. Recalculate the rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the remaining solution. Determine the percentage of change, and state your course of action.
Problem 53
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV of \(500 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.9 \% \mathrm{NS}\) is to infuse in \(6 \mathrm{hr}\) at a rate of \(14 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) (14 macrogtt/min). Drop factor: \(10 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) The IV was started at 7 AM. You check the IV at 8 AM, and 250 mL has infused. Recalculate the rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the remaining solution. Determine the percentage of change and state your course of action.
