There are usually at least 2 conversions you need for basic drip rates the IV tubing size and time This scenario gives you an IV tubing size of 15gtts/mL The second conversion you need to use is 1 hr/60 min Write your conversion factors in the middle of your paper.
Carefully watch and count the drops in the drip chamber over a 15 second period to help correlate the approximate corresponding flow rate For example 2 drops per 15 seconds is equal to approximately 25 to 30 mL/hour Opening or closing the roller clamp will increase or decrease the drops and the corresponding rate per hour.

Pump rates refer to what you’ll set your IV pump to whether it be 50 ml/hr 25 ml/hr 600 ml/hr or 83.3 ml/hr Drip rates refer to the number of drops at which the IV fluid is dripping at Basically the drip rate reflects the number of drops per minute.
