order is for 100 ml to infuse in over 50 min with a tubing drop factor of 20 gtt\\ml. what will the infuse rate be in gtt\\min? round your answer to the whole number answer:
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify the formula
Infusion rate (gtt/min) = $\frac{Volume (mL)\times Drop - factor (gtt/mL)}{Time (min)}$
## Step2: Substitute the values
Volume = 100 mL, Drop - factor = 20 gtt/mL, Time = 50 min. So, $\frac{100\times20}{50}$
## Step3: Calculate the result
$\frac{100\times20}{50}=\frac{2000}{50}=40$
# Answer:
40
