Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride (NS) 100 mL/V to infuse over 4 hr. The drip factor of the manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
To calculate the drip rate, we first convert the total volume to mL per minute: 100mL / 240 minutes = 25 mL/min.
Then, we multiply the mL per minute by the drip factor (60 gtt/mL): 25 mL/min * 60 gtt/mL = 1500 gtt/min.
Therefore, the correct answer is B: 25 gtt/min.
Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the total gtt/min.
Choices C and D are also incorrect due to inaccurate calculations.
