ATI Nur 285 Med Surg Exam Questions

Extract:


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 flow rate for an IV bolus of Ringer's lactate to be infused over 3 hours, you would use the formula: (Volume in mL * Drop factor) / Time in minutes. For 500 mL of Ringer's lactate with a drop factor of 20 gtt/mL over 180 minutes (3 hours), the calculation would be (500 * 20) / 180, which equals 55.55. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 56 gtt/min.
