2. Using IV tubing alone (calibrated at 60 gtt/mL), prepare an IV to infuse 1 liter over 8 hours. How many drops per minute should the IV be set for?Volume = 1000 mL Calibration = 60 Hours = 81000 mL×60(8×60 min) The answer is 125 gtt/min....
The I/E ratio (I:E ratio), or inspiratory expiratory ratio, is just the ratio of inhalations to exhalations during steady breathing. At rest, it is usually about 1:2, meaning that you exhale more slowly than you inhale. This ratio drops toward 1:1, however, with exertion. Most people...

Which instrument(s) has (have) the greatest precision for measuring volume: 10 mL graduated cylinder, 50 mL graduated cylinder, 50 mL burette, 10 mL graduated transfer pipette, and 10 mL volumetric pi Consider drop counts of 20 drops per 1.0...
Step 6 Take the negative log base 10 of the molarity of hydroxide to get the total alkalinity of the sample. For example, in a 100 mL sample of water that took 50 drops of hydrochloric acid to neutralize, divide 50 by 20,000, to get 0.0025 L, multiply 0.0025 by 5 to get 0.0125 mo...
For example, the price of bathing suits can rise quickly at the beginning of the summer season, and then come back down after the demand drops. This also applies to areas with less competition where customers typically buy products at a higher price, such as a beach resort or an airport...
Tables 1 and 2 provide guidelines for the Cisatracurium Besylate Injection infusion rate, in mL/hour (equivalent to microdrops/minute when 60 microdrops = 1 mL), in concentrations of 0.1 mg/mL or 0.4 mg/mL, respectively. References: Cisatracurium [prescribing information]. Lake Forest, IL:...
A health care provider prescribes 1000 mL of normal saline to infuse over 12 hours. The drop factor is 10 drops (gtt)/mL. The nurse prepares to set the flow rate at how many drops per minute...
The density of liquids is often measured in kilograms per liter (kg/L) or grams per milliliter (g/mL) instead. These units are equivalent: 1 kg/L = 1 g/mL. Example: Diamond has a density of 3.52 g/cm3. 2 Measure the object's volume. The volume is the amount of space the objec...
