Calculate the gtt/min flow rate using a macrodrip set calibrated at 20 gtt/mL. Round to the nearest whole number. An order of 90 mL to infuse over 1 hour  

An IV of 500 mL is to infuse at 120 mL/hr using a 20 gtt/mL calibrated set. What is the gtt/min flow rate?   

Calculate the flow rate using gtt/min. Round to the nearest whole number. A set calibrated at 15 gtt/mL to infuse 80 mL/hr  

The Gower sign, which is demonstrated in the child with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, can be elicited by having a child do which of the following? (choose the best answer)

Calculate the flow rate using gtt/min. Round to the nearest whole number. A rate of 125 mL/hr using a set calibrated at 20 gtt/mL    

True or False? Electric Infusion Devices (EID) do not need to be closely monitored since the devices are trouble free.      

True or False. Macrodrip IV sets have a calibration of 10, 15, or 20 gtt/mL  

What is the maximum strength of heparin solution used to flush an IV port?    

Calculate the gtt/min flow rate for a volume of 2500 mL to infuse in 24 hr on a set calibrated at 10 gtt/mL.  

Calculate the 15 second count. (Hint: how many 15 seconds in 60 minutes?). Round to the nearest whole number. IV is to run at a rate of 32 gtt/min. What will the 15-sec count be?
