Answer #1

Ans:-

55.6 gtt/min.

There is a black out in our area means somebody has syncope as other meaning of black out is syncope so in this case we will set the flow rate at 55.6 gtt/min so that we can administer desired volume in a desired time period.

But in this question there is a little mistake in drip factor unit as we know drip factor always comes in gtt/ml and here in this question it is given in gtt/min which may be a typing mistake so now we will solve it according to gtt/ml.

And according to gtt/ml here is the solution, which is shown in the following image:-
