Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's at 100 mL/hr. 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
Finding out how many milliliters are infused per minute: 1 hr/100 mL×1 hr/60 min=100 mL/60 min Finding the drops per minute, we multiply the mL/min by the drop factor: 100/60 x 15/1 = 1500/60 gtt/min =25 gtt/min So, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 25 gtt/min.
