Extract:
A client receiving 1 liter of 0.9% sodium chloride IV over 8 hr with 15 gtts/mL tubing
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to infuse 1 liter of 0.9% sodium chloride IV over 8 hr with a tubing set that delivers 15 gtts/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many drops/min?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Formula: gtts/min = (volume x drop factor) / time. (1000 mL x 15 gtts/mL) / (8 x 60 min) = 15000 / 480 = 31.25, rounded to 31 gtts/min. Other options miscalculate the rate.
