QuestionInfuse $3,000 \mathrm{~mL}$ IV fluid in 24 hours (15 gtt/mL). Administer $500 \mathrm{mg}$ ampicillin in $100 \mathrm{~mL}$ NS over 30 min (10 gtt/mL).

Studdy Solution
Calculate the drip rate for the ampicillin.
$$rip\, rate =.33\, mL/min \times10\, gtt/mL =33.\, gtt/min$$The flow rate for the IV fluid is2.08 mL/min and the drip rate is31.2 gtt/min. The flow rate for the ampicillin is.33 mL/min and the drip rate is33. gtt/min.
