Short Answer

Answer the question that was posed at the beginning of the lesson.

How are formulas used by nurses?

Include the following in your answer:

  • an explanation of why a formula for the flow rate of an IV is more useful than a table of specific IV flow rates, and
  • a description of the impact of using a formula, such as the one for IV flow rate, incorrectly.

Nurses can use the formula by substituting different values of ‘volume of the solution’, ‘drop factor’ and ‘time in minutes’. As a table has limited values and/or limited combination of different variable and formula can be used for any values. So formula is more useful than table. Also, if a formula is used incorrectly, it can be dangerous for the health of patient, either IV flow becomes too slow or too fast which impact negatively on patient.

Step 1 - Answer “how are formulas used by nurses”

Nurses can use the formula by substituting different values of ‘volume of the solution’, ‘drop factor’ and ‘time in minutes’.

Step 2 - Answer “why a formula is more useful than a table of specific rates”

Since, a table has limited values and/or limited combination of different variable and formula can be used for any values. So formula is more useful than table.

Step 3 - Answer “impact of using a formula incorrectly”

If a formula is used incorrectly, it can be dangerous for the health of patient, either IV flow becomes too slow or too fast which impact negatively on patient.
