    flow rate of to infuse the 1000 mL over 5 hours is 33.33 gtt/min

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given data

    volume = 1000 mL

    time = 5 hours

    drop factor = 10 gtt/min

    to find out

    flow rate of to infuse the 1000 mL over 5 hours

    Solution

    we know flow rate formula i. e.

    flow rate = (volume * drop factor) / time ... 1

    here time will be in min so time = 5 hours = 5 * 60 = 300 min

    put volume, drop factor and time value in equation 1 and we get flow rate

    flow rate = (volume * drop factor) / time

    flow rate = (1000 * 10) / 300

    flow rate = 33.33 gtt/min

    flow rate of to infuse the 1000 mL over 5 hours is 33.33 gtt/min
