At 1630 hours you started an IV with 500 cc of D5W running at 60 gtt/min using microdrip tubing (60 gtt/ce). You now receive an BAXTER IV Pump.

A)How many cc/hr should you set the pump for to keep the IV going at the same rate?

._ml/h

1. B) What time will the infusion be completed?

ions

0050 hours

Explanation:

The size of the drops is regulated by types of tubing in microdrip tubing 1cc(1ml ) forms 60 gtt.

Gtt in 500 cc D5W is 500×60 gtt.= 30000 gtt.

Time required to infuse whole fluid with the rate of 60gtt /min = 30000gtt÷60gtt/min = 500minute.

= 8hours 20 minute.

Fluid infusion started at 1630 hours after and it ends after 8 hours 30 minutes .

Therefore, infusion will be completed at 1630 hours +0830 hours.= 0050 hours.
