Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1 L IV to infuse over 8 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing set is 15 gtts/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
gtt/min
Explanation & Rationale
Step 1 is to determine the total volume to be infused in minutes. This is done by multiplying the total volume by the drop factor: (1000 mL ÷ 480 min) × 15 gtt/mL = 31.25 gtt/min.
