Your patient is to receive Gentamycin 150 mg IVPB q18h. You will have to reconstitute the powdered form of the medication. The Gentamycin comes in a 260 mg multidose vial. The directions state that after reconstituting with 3.6 ml of sterile water there will be a volume of 4 ml in the vial. After reconstitution the medication must be mixed in 100 ml D5W and infused over 45 minutes. The drop factor of the IV tubing is 20 gtt/ml. What will the drip rate (gtt/min) be for the IVPB? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. I got 50 GTT/min, but there's some discrepancy amongst my cohort.
