Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin IVPB over 20 min. Available is cefazolin 1 g in 100 mL of dextrose 5% in water (D5W). The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the 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 (100 mL ÷ 20 min) × 15 gtt/mL. Step 2 is 5 mL/min × 15 gtt/mL. Step 3 is 75 gtt/min. The answer is 75 gtt/min.
