Question 1 of 5

The nurse is initiating a prescription for Dextrose 2.5% in 0.45% Sodium Chloride (D2.5W, 0.45% NS) at 45 mL/hour for a child with dehydration. The nurse attaches a volume-control administration set with a microdrip chamber to the bag of solution. How many microdrops/minute should the nurse regulate the infusion? (Enter the numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 45

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (microdrops/minute) = (mL/hour) x (microdrops/mL) / 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (microdrops/minute) = (45) x (60) / 60. Simplifying, we get: (microdrops/minute) = 45.
Therefore, the nurse should regulate the infusion to deliver 45 microdrops/minute of Dextrose 2.5% in 0.45% Sodium Chloride.
