A patient is receiving an infusion at 50 mL/hr. The drip factor of the tubing is 20 gtt/mL. What is the drip rate in gtt/min?

10 gtt/min 16 gtt/min 20 gtt/min 25 gtt/min

16 gtt/min

(50 mL/hr * 20 gtt/mL) / 60 min = 1000 / 60 = 16.67, round to 17 gtt/min (or 16 gtt/min depending on clinical standards).
