0.5 liter of 5% glucose in 0.45 N/S is to be administered IV over an 8 hour period. If the IV chamber is calibrated to deliver 15 gtts. per cc., how many gtts. should te patiet receive each minute?
We'll be glad to help you figure out how to get the correct answer. We aren't going to give you the answer. What process is your school teaching (or what do you remember from math classes in school) for figuring this out?
