The nurse claim that a 4 -litre drip with a Drip Factor of \( 20 \mathrm{gtt} / \mathrm{ml} \) and a drip rate of 300 gtt min with take mrore than 266 minutes to finish. The doctor claim that the drip will take less than 266 minutes to fi Use calculations to verify who is correct.

To verify who is correct, we first need to calculate the total number of drops in the 4-litre drip and then determine the time it will take to finish at the given drip rate. 1. Convert litres to millilitres: \[ 4 \, \text{litres} = 4,000 \, \text{ml} \] 2. Calculate the total number of drops: \[ \text{Total drops} = \text{Volume in ml} \times \text{Drip Factor} = 4,000 \, \text{ml} \times 20 \, \frac{\text{gtt}}{\text{ml}} = 80,000 \, \text{gtt} \] 3. Now, calculate the time taken at the drip rate of 300 gtt/min: \[ \text{Time (in minutes)} = \frac{\text{Total drops}}{\text{Drip rate}} = \frac{80,000 \, \text{gtt}}{300 \, \text{gtt/min}} \approx 266.67 \, \text{minutes} \] Since this calculated time of approximately 266.67 minutes is more than 266 minutes, the nurse is correct. The doctor’s claim of it taking less than 266 minutes is therefore incorrect.
