Question 1 of 5
The healthcare provider has ordered 1000 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride to be administered intravenously over 5 hours. The drop factor on the tubing is 15 drops/mL. How many milliliters per hour will you administer and how many drops per minute?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
To calculate the mL/hr, divide the total volume (1000mL) by the total time in hours (5 hours), giving 200 mL/hr.
To find drops per minute, first calculate the mL per minute (200 mL/hr รท 60), which equals approximately 3.33 mL/min.
Then, multiply by the drop factor (15 drops/mL) to get 50 drops/min. So, the correct answer is C: 200 mL/hr and 50 drops/min.
Choice A is incorrect because it calculates the drops per minute incorrectly.
Choice B is incorrect as it miscalculates the mL/hr.
Choice D is incorrect because it incorrectly calculates the drops per minute.
