The physician orders gentamicin 40 mg IVPB q8 hr for infection. The medication is supplied in gentamicin 40 mg/100mL to infuse over 1 hour. Tubing drop factor is 20 gtt/mL. How many drops per minute will be given?
Answer ;
33 gtt/min
convert hour into minutes
1hr: 60 min
use equation V/T multiple by Drop factor
100ml/60 min multiplied by 20 gtt/ml
33.3333333 drops per minute need to be rounded by the whole number
the end result would be 33 gtt/min

Two boxes are connected by a weightless cord running over a very light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. Box A, of mass 8.0 kg, is initially at rest on the top of the table
The coefficient of kinetic friction between box A and the table is 0.10. Box B has a mass of 15.0 kg, and the system begins to move just after it is released. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes, identifying all of the forces acting on each one. (b) Calculate the acceleration of each box. (c) What is the tension in the cord? What will be an ideal response?
