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.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation Infusion Rate (Volume/Time): 100 mL/hr Drop Factor: 15 gtt/mL Calculate the Drip Rate (gtt/min) Flow Rate (gtt/min) = (Total Volume (mL) / Total Time (min)) x Drop Factor (gtt/mL) = (100 mL / 60 min) 15 x gtt/mL = 1.666 x 15 = 25 gtt/min
