Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer 400 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride IV over 8 hr. 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 rate of IV infusion in gtt/min, we first convert the total volume to be infused (400 mL) and the total time (8 hr) into minutes. 400 mL over 8 hr is 50 mL/hr. Next, we convert mL/hr to gtt/min using the drop factor of 60 gtt/mL. 50 mL/hr x 60 gtt/mL = 3000 gtt/hr. Finally, we convert gtt/hr to gtt/min by dividing by 60 minutes. 3000 gtt/hr ÷ 60 min = 50 gtt/min.
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 50 gtt/min.

Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculated rate based on the given information.
