A physician orders D5W at 600mL over 10 hours and you are using a 20gtt/ mL IV administration set. What is the drop rate in gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number)

IV Drip rate = 20.00 gtts/min (drops per minute).

explanation

if the IV Drip rate = (1500 ml * 16 gtts/ml) / (12 hours * 60) = 33 gtts per minute. Considering that intravenous fluid,be it a certain substance of just glucose, needs to be given at a specific rate, this has been decided to be measured in ml/hour or drops per min.
