You've got a point there. I mean, on concentration wise. We use 450mg/250ml. That's probably why we use filter.

On my preceptor's attitude, I don't know. I guess it's because she's a product of the era "spare the rod spoil the child" that she's treating me the same way too. My in-law is a very positive person and she shares my in sight that I am in a very emotional and psychological draining experience <goodness! too much drama! enough!>

Thanks for the dilantin, tip. I'll look it up. Although, I've never seen anyone use a filter when they administered it.

The more concentrated a drip is, the more likely it is to crystalize (in general; think about chemistry, reaction rates, and concentrations. The more concentrated the solution is, the more likely molecules will run in to each other).

However, 900mg/500 cc is the same concentration as 450mg/250 cc (just a different volume. Concentration is the same -- both 1.8mg/ml.)
