Question 1 of 5
The 4-year-old with meningitis is to receive ceftriaxone 750 mg IVPB over 30 minutes. The pharmacy provided 750 mg in 50 mL D5W to be infused IVPB through a microdrip infusion system (tubing drop factor 60 gtt/min). At what rate, in gtt per min, should the nurse program the IVPB pump?
Correct Answer: 100
Rationale: Volume to be infused is 50 mL over 30 minutes. Calculate mL/min: 50 mL/ 30 min = 1.6667 mL/min. Convert to gtt/min using the drop factor: 1.6667 mL/min x 60 gtt/mL = 100 gtt/min.
