Why are eye drops isotonic to body fluids?
Eye drops are made isotonic to body fluids to prevent irritation and discomfort when applied to the eye. If they were hypertonic or hypotonic, they could cause a stinging sensation or damage to the delicate tissues of the eye. By matching the osmolarity of the eye drops to that of the body fluids, the drops are better tolerated and more effectively absorbed.

If a person gets 1400mL of intervenous fluids per day and the iv set delivers 15 drops per mL how many drops per min does he receive?
1400 mL x 15 drops per mL = 21000 total drops "per day" assumes 24 hours. 24 hours x 60 minutes per hour = 1440 minutes in one day 21000 total drops divided by 1440 minutes = 14.58 drops per minute (round up to 15 drops per minute)
How do you calculate drops per minute?
To calculate drops per minute (DPM), first determine the total number of drops produced in a specific time period, typically measured in minutes. Then, divide the total number of drops by the time in minutes. For example, if you have 60 drops over 5 minutes, you would calculate it as 60 drops ÷ 5 minutes = 12 drops per minute. This measurement is commonly used in medical settings to assess drip rates for IV fluids.

When it is best to perform a dermal puncture rather than a venipuncture on children?
A dermal puncture is preferred over a venipuncture in young children, especially infants, when obtaining small blood samples is necessary, such as for blood glucose monitoring or when only a few drops of blood are required. It minimizes discomfort and reduces the risk of complications associated with larger needles and venous access. Additionally, dermal punctures are often more convenient and can be performed quickly at the point of care.
