Answer #1

One drop is equal to 0.05 ml . According to given data fluid is flowing at. 21 drops/Minute . 21 drops =1.36 ml. So per minute 1.36 ml is flowing for 70 minutes=70*1.36=95.2. If 92 ml flowed for 70 minutes remaining amount in 1000 ml bottle is 1000-92=908 ml

*Flow rate( ml/hr)=total volume in ml/Infusion time in hours *Infusion time(hours)=total volume /Flow rate *total volume (ml)=Flow rate /infusiontime. These formulas can use to calculate. We need to know how many drops per ml and how many ml per drop.

To identify drops per minute. = Total volume for infusion/Time for infusion*Drip factor
