Q1.
A nurse is preparing to administer a continuous IV infusion of potassium chloride 40 mEq
in 1000 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride at a rate of 2 mEq/hr. The IV tubing delivers 15 gtt/mL.
What is the correct drip rate in gtt/min?
A. 10 gtt/min B. 12.5 gtt/min
C. 15 gtt/min D. 20 gtt/min
Correct: B - 12.5 gtt/min
Rationale:First calculate mL/hr: 40 mEq/1000 mL = 0.04 mEq/mL; 2 mEq/hr ÷ 0.04 = 50
mL/hr. Then gtt/min = (50 mL/60 min) × 15 = 12.5 gtt/min. Other options result from
miscalculating mL/hr or tubing factor.
