Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer potassium chloride 40 mEq in dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. The tubing has a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the IV flow rate 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: 31 gtt/min
Rationale: Drops: 1000 mL × 15 gtt/mL = 15000 gtt. Time: 8 hr × 60 min = 480 min. Rate: 15000 gtt ÷ 480 min = 31.25 gtt/min, rounded to 31 gtt/min.
