Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (D5W) 150 mL IV to infuse over 3 hr. The drop factor of the IV tubing is 10 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: The correct answer is A: 8 gtt/min. First, convert 3 hours to minutes (3 hr x 60 min/hr = 180 min).
Then, calculate the total drops to be infused: 150 mL x 10 gtt/mL = 1500 gtt. Finally, divide the total drops by the total minutes: 1500 gtt รท 180 min = 8.3, rounded to 8 gtt/min.
Choice A is correct as it accurately calculates the drip rate for the given IV infusion.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given information.
