Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 09% sodium chloride 1,200 mL IV to infuse over 24 hr. The drop factor of the manual tubing is 15 g/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. De not use a trailing zero)
Correct Answer: 13
Rationale:
Rationale:
To calculate the gtt/min for the IV infusion, use the formula: (Volume to be infused in mL x drop factor) / time in minutes. In this case, (1,200 mL x 15 gtt/mL) / 1,440 min (24 hr x 60 min/hr) = 13 gtt/min. This is the correct calculation to deliver the IV infusion at the prescribed rate.
