The order is for 3300 mL to infuse in 17 hours using a 10 gtt/mL set. Calculate the gtt/min to the nearest whole number.

An IV infusion of 500 mL to infuse over 8 hours was started at 10 a.m. At 12:30 p.m. there is 300 mL remaining. Recalculate the rate (to the nearest whole number) to complete the infusion on time using a 15 gtt/mL set.

At 3:15 p.m. there is 175 mL left in an IV infusing at 55 mL/hr. Calculate the infusion time and the completion time.

An infusion of 2500 mL is started at 8:00 a.m. to run at 275 mL/hr. Calculate the infusion time and the completion time.

What is the correct fluid level for the IV drip chamber? Why?
