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 (3000 mL ÷ 24 hr). Step 2 is (125 mL/hr × 10 gtt/mL) ÷ 60 min/hr. Answer: 21 gtt/min. .
