What is the flow rate in GTT/ML when infusing a drug at 15 GTT/ML?

  1. 5 GTT/ML

  2. 10 GTT/ML

  3. 15 GTT/ML

  4. 20 GTT/ML

The correct answer is: 15 GTT/ML

The flow rate in GTT/ML represents the number of drops (GTT) that are infused per milliliter (ML) of fluid. In the scenario presented, the flow rate is specifically stated as 15 GTT/ML. This means that for every milliliter of infusion, 15 drops are administered. Therefore, this value directly matches the definition of the flow rate and does not require any additional calculations or adjustments. Understanding this concept is crucial for pharmacy technicians as it allows them to accurately administer medications and monitor infusion rates effectively. Other options listed represent various other drop rates, but none align with the stated infusion rate of 15 GTT/ML. This reinforces the importance of precise measurements in pharmaceutical practices to ensure patient safety and effectiveness of treatment.
