Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 400 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride IV over 8 hours. The drop 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. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.).
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To calculate the drip rate, we use the formula: Volume to be infused (mL) x Drop factor (gtt/mL) / Time (min). In this case, 400 mL x 60 gtt/mL / 480 minutes = 50 gtt/min (rounding to the nearest whole number). This ensures the correct rate of administration, preventing under or over-infusion. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the drip rate based on the given information.
