In order to avoid Red Man Syndrome, the hospital protocol states that vancomycin should be infused at rate not greater than 10 mg/min. Use a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. Assume that the powder volume is negligible. a. What is the maximum rate (gtt/min) that this bag can run in order to adhere to this protocol? (Round to the nearest whole number) b. How many hours will it take to infuse the entire bag if it is infused at the maximum rate? (Round to the nearest tenth of an hour)
