Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer an IV fluid bolus of 200 mL dextrose 5% in water over 30 min. The drop factor of the manual 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
Use formula gtt/min=ml × drop factor/min (200 mL×15 gtt/mL)÷30 min =3000÷30 =100 gtt/min.
