Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1 L IV to infuse over 8 hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing set is 15 gtts/mL. The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
31
Rationale:
Flow rate (gtt/min) = Volume (mL) × Drop factor (gtt/mL) ÷ Time (min)
Given:
Volume = 1,000 mL
Drop factor = 15 gtt/mL
Time = 8 hours = 8 × 60 = 480 minutes
1,000×15÷480=15,000÷480=31.25
Rounded to the nearest whole number:
✅ Final Answer: 31 gtt/min
