If a patient is receiving an IV of D5W at a rate of 18 drops per milliliter, how many drops would they receive from a 2 liter bag?
  1. 9,000
  2. 18,000
  3. 36,000
  4. 72,000
Explanation
Answer: C - The patient would receive 36,000 drops of D5W from a 2 liter bag. If there are 18 drops per milliliter, and 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL, then there are 18,000 drops in 1 liter. A 2 liter bag would contain 18,000 x 2 = 36,000 drops.
