Question

recalculate flow rates for infusions to complete on schedule show your work 60 second count is to be used you will need to use that to figure out what your division Factor. an IV 1000 ml is scheduled to run in 12 hours after four hours only 220 mls have infused. the set calibration is 20 drops per ml we calculate the rate for the remaining solution.
time remaining
volume remaining

Answer 1

Given 1000ml IV to be infused in 12 hours

After 4 hours 220ml is infused.

Remaining volume is (1000-220) =780ml

Remaining time is (12-4) = 8 hours.
Which is (8x60) = 480 min (28800seconds)

In order to complete infusion in time remaining volume of 780ml should be infused in 8 hours (480min)

The rate is volume/time = 780/480 ml/min. which is 1.625 ml/ min

Set calibration is 20 drops per ml.
For 1.625ml it is (20 x 1.625) = 32.5 drops

The required rate for remaining solution is 1.625ml/minor  1.625ml/60seconds or32.5drops/60sec
