Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1,200 mL IV to infuse over 24 hr. The drop factor of the IV tubing is 15 gtt/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 1:0 mL ÷ 24 hr = 50 mL/hr Step 2: (50 mL/hr × 15 gtt/mL) ÷ 60 min/hr = 12.5 gtt/min Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number = 13 gtt/min. Final answer: 13 gtt/min.
