350 mL contains 45 g of medication and delivered over 2.5 hours at a 25 drop set. How many drops per minute is administered.a. 175 gtt/min b. 233.3...

gtt/min is a common abbreviation used to describe the rate
at which a medicine is administered. gtt comes from the Latin word "guttae" which means
drops.

Here we have a 350 mL solution that contains 45 g of
medication and is delivered over 2.5 hours at a 25 drop
set.

The 25 drop set indicates that each mL is equal to 25
drops. 350 mL is equal to 350*25 = 8750 drops. This is administered in 2.5 hours or
2.5*60 = 150 minutes.

The rate in gtt/min of the solution
being administered is 8750/150 = 58.33.

The correct answer
is option d or 58.3 gtt/min.
