Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for client who is postoperative following an appendectomy and is prescribed D, lactated Ringer's at 150 mL/hr by continuous IV iinfusion for 12 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 20 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.)

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: 50 gtt/min

Rationale:
To calculate the IV infusion rate in drops per minute (gtt/min), we use the formula: (Volume to be infused in mL) x (Drop factor) / (Time in minutes). In this case, the volume is 150 mL, the drop factor is 20 gtt/mL, and the time is 60 minutes (12 hours x 60 minutes/hour). Plugging in the values: (150 mL) x (20 gtt/mL) / (720 min) = 50 gtt/min.
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 gtt/min. This rate ensures the prescribed volume is infused correctly over the specified time.
Incorrect options:

A) Incorrect, as it does not calculate the correct drop rate.
B-G) These options are also incorrect as they do not provide the accurate calculation for the IV infusion rate.
