Before I even got to the end of the solution I was thinking "this is dimentional analysis..." I use that method occasionally for some of my math, and I have tried to improve those skills in the past few days. Thanks for your help :)

Thanks to you both :) If I remember correctly akadimkz, I think you're right on those. I know for sure you're right on the first one, because I remember being told that was the answer. The 500 was what threw me off as well. So basically, what's available doesn't even need to be factored in when it comes to these problems. Just the order. Am I right?

Hi, I am brand new to this, so I hope I'm posting where I should... I am having a problem with gtts/min questions. I can do them if they're in like a word problem format, but when in an actual Dr.'s orders format, I get thrown off. It's worded like this: Order: 275mL/hr Available: 500mL (10 drops per mL). ______gtts/min Or any derivative of that. There was also one that was like: Order: 1000 mL q24hr Available: 1000 mL (10 drops per mL). ________gtts/min If anyone can help me with that ASAP, I will be so grateful!
