A patient is to receive 1 g of Ceftriaxone
(Rocephin) in 100 ml over 30 min. the
tubing drip rate is 10 gtt/ml. the nurse
should adjust the flow rate to what
infusion rate? - ANS-33 gtt/min
To determine the correct flow rate divide
the volume to be infused by the time in
minutes and multiply by the drop factor.
, So, 100 (volume to be infused) divided by
30 (time in min) x 10 (drops per mL) = 33
gtt/min.
A nurse is caring for a patient with a
