Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer Ringer's lactate 500 mL IV bolus to infuse over 3 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 20 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: 56

Rationale:
To calculate the IV rate in drops per minute (gtt/min), we first convert the infusion time to minutes (3 hours = 180 minutes).
Then, we divide the total volume (500 mL) by the infusion time in minutes (180 min) to get the rate in mL/min (2.78 mL/min). Next, we multiply the rate in mL/min by the drop factor (20 gtt/mL) to find the rate in drops per minute, which is 55.6. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the correct answer is 56 gtt/min. This ensures the Ringer's lactate solution is administered at the appropriate rate to the patient. Other choices are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the infusion rate based on the given information.
