Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer 1,000 mL of lactated Ringer's IV over 6 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 10 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
To calculate the IV infusion rate in gtts/min, first convert 6 hours to minutes (6 x 60 = 360 min).
Then, determine the total number of drops needed by multiplying the volume to be infused (1,000 mL) by the drop factor (10 gtt/mL) to get 10,000 gtts. Finally, divide the total drops by the total time in minutes (10,000 gtts / 360 min = 27.78 gtts/min). Rounding up, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 28 gtts/min to administer 1,000 mL of lactated Ringer's IV over 6 hours. Other choices are incorrect as they do not follow the correct calculation method or do not provide the precise infusion rate needed for this scenario.
