A client receiving Ringer's lactate at 120 mL/hr with a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer Ringer's lactate by continuous IV infusion at 120 mL/hr. The drop factor of the manual 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: Using the formula gtt/min = (mL/hr x drop factor) / 60, calculate: (120 x 10) / 60 = 20 gtt/min.
