Part F: Intravenous and Infusion Calculations continued An IV flow rate consists of the number otf cc/hour. Calculate the flow rate that a 1000 c IV solution infuses over an 8-hour period. 6. 7. Considering an IV flow rate in cc/hour, calculate the flow rate of the same 1000 ac IV solution infusing over a period of 6 hours. 8. The drop factor (gtts/cc) is the number of drops it takes to equal 1 cc for specific tubing in intravenous fluids. All packaging of fluids provides this information. Calculate the required drops per minute for a solution with a flow rate of 120 cc/hr and a drop factor of 15 gtts/cc. 9. Calculate the drops/minute for an intravenous solution with a flow rate of 100 cc/hr and drop factor of 20 gtts/cc. 10. Both mL/hr and cc/hr represent the total amount of fluid given per hour. Calculate the fluid/hour for a 1.0 LIV solution set to flow for 10 hours. 11. Calculate the drops/min for Question 10 if the drop factor is 20 gtts/cc 12. Adehydrated patient receives a 2.0 L dextrose solution to infuse over 16 hours. Calculate the drops/min if the tubing used has a drop factor of 20 gtts/cc. 13. The physician ordered a heparin drip for a patient with atrial fibrillation to infuse at 1,000 units per hour. The drip comes as 25,000 units in 1,500 mL solution. Calculate the mL received in the first hour. Then calculate the flow rate per minute if the tubing is 25 gtts/cc.
