Answer #1

Answer:-

The pump infusion at = 25 gtt /min

To be infused volume in ML = 600ml

Set calibration is = 10 gtt/ ml

25 gtt = 1.25 ml / min

10 gtt = 0.5 ml ( 10 divide by 0.5 )

600 ml = 10 multiply by 600 divide by 0.5 and (multiply by 10 because we remove decimal of 0.5 ) = 12000

25 gtt /ml = 1.25 ml

12000 divided by 25 = 480 divided by 60

So answer is = 8 Hours
