Penjelasan
## Step1: Understanding the Function of a Volumetric Infusion Pump### A volumetric infusion pump is a medical device used to deliver intravenous (IV) solutions to a patient. It operates based on a specific volume, ensuring that the correct amount of solution is administered over a set period.## Step2: Mechanism of Delivery### The pump measures and controls the volume of fluid to be delivered, rather than the rate of flow (measured in drops per minute). This ensures precise dosing based on the prescribed volume.## Step3: Importance in Clinical Application### In clinical settings, delivering the correct volume of IV solution is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment. The volumetric infusion pump helps in maintaining accurate medication dosages and fluid balance.
