A client returns from the PACU with a bag of IV fluids that has 630 mL remaining in the 1,000 mL bag. The prescription reads, "Continue the present IV over the next 7 hours." The IV administration set delivers 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver how many drops/minute to accomplish the new prescription? (Enter numeric value only).

- Calculate the volume to be infused: 630 mL - Calculate the time of infusion in minutes: 7 hours x 60 minutes = 420 minutes - Calculate the infusion rate in mL/minute: 630 mL / 420 minutes = 1.5 mL/minute - Calculate the infusion rate in drops/minute: 1.5 mL/minute x 10 gtt/mL = 15 gtt/minute - The nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver 15 drops/minute
