Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (D,W) 150 mL IV to infuse over 3 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 8 gtt/min
Rationale: The correct answer is 8 gtt/min.
To calculate the IV flow rate, use the formula: Volume (mL) divided by time (min) multiplied by drop factor (gtt/mL). Given: Volume = 150 mL, Time = 180 min (3 hours x 60 min), and Drop factor = unknown (let's represent as x). So, the formula becomes: 150/180*x = 8. This simplifies to x = 8.
Therefore, the nurse should set the IV infusion to deliver 8 gtt/min. Other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation based on the given parameters.
