Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer Ringer's lactate by continuous IV infusion at 120 mL/hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/m. 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
Calculation: Flow rate = 120 mL/hr. Drop factor = 60 gtt/mL. Calculate the infusion rate in drops per minute (gtt/min). Infusion rate (gtt/min) = (Flow rate (mL/hr) x Drop factor (gtt/mL)) / 60 minutes/hr = (120 mL/hr x 60 gtt/mL) / 60 minutes/hr = 120 gtt/min.
