Problem 54
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 \(1,000 \mathrm{~mL}\) D5W is to infuse in \(10 \mathrm{hr}\). Drop factor: \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) The IV was started at \(4 \mathrm{AM}\). At \(10 \mathrm{AM}\) \(600 \mathrm{~mL}\) remains in the bag. Is the IV on schedule? If not, recalculate the rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the remaining solution. Determine the percentage of change and state your course of action.

Problem 57
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. \(1,000 \mathrm{~mL}\) of D5W is infusing at \(20 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) ( 20 macrogtt/min). Drop factor: \(10 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) How long will it take for the IV to infuse? (Express time in hours and minutes.)
Problem 58
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. \(450 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(\mathrm{NS}\) is infusing at \(25 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) ( 25 macrogtt/min). Drop factor: \(20 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) How many hours will it take for the IV to infuse?
Problem 59
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. \(100 \mathrm{~mL}\) of D5W is infusing at \(10 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}(10\) macrogtt \(/ \mathrm{min})\) The administration set delivers \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\). How many hours will it take for the IV to infuse?
Problem 60
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV is regulated at \(25 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) (25 macrogtt/min). Drop factor: \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) How many milliliters of fluid will the client receive in \(8 \mathrm{hr} ?\)
Problem 61
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV is regulated at \(40 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) (40 microdrop/min). Drop factor: \(60 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) How many milliliters of fluid will the client receive in \(10 \mathrm{hr}\) ?
Problem 62
Calculate the IV flow rate in \(\mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) for the following IV administrations, unless another unit of measure is stated. An IV is regulated at \(30 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{min}\) (30 macrogtt/min). Drop factor: \(15 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{mL}\) How many milliliters of fluid will the client receive in \(5 \mathrm{hr}\) ?
Problem 63
