a nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (d5w) 150 ml iv to infuse over 3 hr. the drop factor of the manual iv tubing is 10 gtt/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 1

A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (d5w) 150 ml iv to infuse over 3 hr. the drop factor of the manual iv tubing is 10 gtt/ml.

Amount of solution to infused=250 ml

Time to be infused = 4 hours

=(4*60)=240 minutes

Drop factor=60gtt/ml

=60gtt/ml

Drip rate in gtt/min=? (calculation)

Drip rate = volume * drop factor

time(minute)

=62.5 gtt/ml

Drip rate=62.5gtt/ml=62gtt/ml
