What would the flow rate be if the drop factor is 15 gtt =1 ml if the physician orders an IV solution of dextrose 5% in water at 100ml/hour?

In order to compute for the answer, you need to follow this formula: 100ml/60 min X 15 gtt/ 1 ml = 25 gtt/minute. The dextrose is known for its medical purposes. There are different things that can be added to the dextrose. There are moments when it is used to hydrate. There are also times when different medications are added to it in order to make people feel better.

At times, it is used in order to increase people’s blood sugar levels. Since the dextrose provides simple sugar, the body will be able to use what it can provide immediately. Some people have the tendency to feel better because of this.
