    The document discusses different types of infusion sets used to administer intravenous fluids (IVF), including their drop factor and unit of measurement. It provides examples to calculate drip rates and infusion durations based on the total volume, drop factor, and time using the formula: Time = Total Volume x Drop Factor / Flow Rate x 60 mins/hr. It then works through 8 examples of calculating drip rates and durations for various IVF orders.
