Question 1 of 5

A client returns from the PACU with a bag of IV fluids that has 630 mL remaining in the 1,000 mL bag. The prescription reads, 'Continue the present IV over the next 7 hours.' The IV administration set delivers 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver how many drops/minute to accomplish the new prescription? (Enter numeric value only.)

Correct Answer: 15

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following steps: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hour by dividing the volume of IV fluids by the time of infusion. Calculate the infusion rate in mL/minute by dividing the infusion rate in mL/hour by 60. Multiply the infusion rate in mL/minute by the drop factor in gtt/mL to get the infusion rate in gtt/minute. Round the result to the nearest whole number. Using these steps, we get: (infusion rate in mL/hour) = (630) / (7) = 90 mL/hour. (infusion rate in mL/minute) = (90) / (60) = 1.5 mL/minute. (infusion rate in gtt/minute) = (1.5) x (10) = 15 gtt/minute. (rounded infusion rate in gtt/minute) = 15.
Therefore, the nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver 15 gtt/minute of IV fluids to the client.
