The physician orders a unit of packed red blood cells (PRBC) to infuse in 2 hours. The unit contains 250 mL. The blood tubing administration set has a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL. The flow rate for the infusion of packed red blood cell is gtt/min. (Round to the nearest drop)
Correct Answer: 21 gtt/min

PubMed is a comprehensive database for biomedical literature but is not specifically focused on systematic reviews. Psych Info is a database for psychology-related research, not systematic reviews of medical evidence. The World Health Organization provides health-related resources but is not a systematic review database.
