Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride IV to infuse at 100 mL/hr. The nurse is using microtubing. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round to the nearest whole number)
Correct Answer: 100
Rationale: The correct answer is 100 gtt/min.
To calculate the IV flow rate in gtt/min for microtubing, you can use the formula: gtt/min = (mL/hr x tubing factor) / 60. In this case, the mL/hr is 100, and for microtubing, the tubing factor is usually 60. So, (100 x 60) / 60 = 100 gtt/min. This ensures the dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride solution is infused at the correct rate. Other choices would be incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation for microtubing flow rates.
