Your patient is a 7.8 kg dog and is on 40 mL/hr of fluids with 800 mL left. You need to infuse her fluid bag with a drug that comes in 15 mg/mL, and the CRI rate will be at 55 mg/kg/24 hr. What is her hourly CRI rate? What volume of the drug will be added to the fluid bag? Oh no! The power went out! You have to calculate her drip rates. Using a 20 gtt/mL set, calculate: 1.) drop minute rate 2.) drop second rate
