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 rate, divide 1000 mL by 5 hours = 200 mL/hr.
To find drops per minute, divide the mL/hr by 60 minutes (200 mL/hr รท 60 minutes = 3.33 mL/min).
Then, multiply by the drop factor (15 drops/mL) to get 50 drops/min.
Choice C is correct because it correctly calculates the mL/hr and drops/min based on the given information.
Choices A, B, and D have incorrect calculations for the mL/hr rate.
Choice A incorrectly calculates the mL/hr rate, while choices B and D have the correct mL/hr rate but incorrect drops/min calculation.
