Question 1 of 5

A client is brought to the emergency center for fluid replacement after running a marathon, and the healthcare provider prescribes a 500 mL bolus of 0.9% normal saline to be administered over 4 hours. The infusion set delivers 10 gtt/mL, so the nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver how many gtt/minute? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 21

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (gtt/min) = (mL/hour) x (gtt/mL) / 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (gtt/min) = (500 / 4) x (10) / 60. Simplifying, we get: (gtt/min) = 125 x 10 / 60. (gtt/min) = 20.833. (rounded gtt/min) = 21.
Therefore, the nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver 21 gtt/minute of 0.9% normal saline.
