Sammy, a fifteen-pound Siamese cat, needs 750 mL of 5% Dextrose to be infused over 8 hours. The administration set is 60 gtt/mL. What is the IV flow rate in gtt/min?
  1. 480 gtt/min
  2. 48 gtt/min
  3. 75 gtt/min
  4. 94 gtt/min
Explanation
Answer: D - 94 gtt/min would be the flow rate for 750 mL of 5% Dextrose to be infused over 8 hours, with a 60 gtt/mL administration set. Multiply volume (750) by calibration (60), and then divide by minutes.
