Question 1 of 5
A client receives a prescription for 2 liters of lactated Ringer's IV to be infused over 12 hours. The IV administration set delivers 20 gtt/mL. How many gtt/min should the nurse regulate the infusion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A (56 gtt/min). Calculation: 2000 mL ÷ 12 hr = 166.67 mL/hr; 166.67 mL/hr × 20 gtt/mL = 3333.4 gtt/hr; 3333.4 gtt/hr ÷ 60 min/hr = 55.56 gtt/min, rounded to 56 gtt/min. This ensures accurate IV infusion.
