Transcribed Image Text:c. What is the flow rate in gtts/min?
The doctor orders 1000ml D5W IV to run over 12 hours. She also orders an IVPB with Gentamycin 80
mg in 60 ml NS to run over 1 hour QID. The stock supply is a vial with Gentamycin 100 mg/2ml.

Expert Solution
Step 1
a. The total volume to be infused is 1000 ml over 12 hours, which is equivalent to 83.3 ml/hr (1000 ml/12 hours). Using the drop factor of 60 gtts/ml, we can calculate the flow rate in gtts/min:
83.3 ml/hr × 60 gtts/ml ÷ 60 min/hr = 83.3 gtts/min
Therefore, the flow rate for the main IV is 83.3 gtts/min.
b. The dose ordered for Gentamycin is 80 mg. To prepare the IVPB, we need to determine how much volume to add to the 60 ml of normal saline.
100 mg/2 ml = 50 mg/1 ml (using proportions) Therefore, we need to add 1.6 ml (80 mg ÷ 50 mg/ml) of Gentamycin to the 60 ml of normal saline.
