Answer 7

Correct Answers:

56

Rationale :

✍️ Formulas:

➡️mL/hr = Total volume (mL) ÷ Time (hr)

➡️gtt/min = (mL/hr × drop factor) ÷ 60

✍️ Given:

➡️Volume = 2000 mL

➡️Time = 12 hr

➡️Drop factor = 20 gtt/mL

✍️ Calculation:

➡️mL/hr = 2000 ÷ 12

= 166.67 mL/hr

➡️gtt/min = (166.67 × 20) ÷ 60 = 3333.4 ÷ 60

= 55.56

→ 56 gtt/min
