A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride (0.45%
NaCl) 750 mL IV to infuse over 10 hours. The drop factor of the
manual IV tubing is 60 gtt/mL. The nurse should set the manual
IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? - ANSWER-75 gtt/min
Rationale:
1. (60 gtt/mL) x (750 mL/10 hours) x (1 hour/60 minutes) = x
2. x = 75 gtt/min
A nurse is preparing to administer D5W to infuse at 125 ml/hour.
The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse
should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min?
(Round to the nearest whole number.) - ANSWER-31 gtt/min
Rationale:
1. (125 mL/1 hour) x (15 gtt/1 mL) x (1 hour/60 minutes) = x
2. x = 31.25 gtt/min

3. x = 31 gtt/min
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 1 L to infuse
over 2 hours. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL.
The nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver how many
gtt/min? - ANSWER-125 gtt/min
Rationale:
1. (1,000 mL/2 hours) x (15 gtt/mL) x (1 hour/60 minutes) = x
2. x = 125 gtt/min
A nurse is preparing to administer famotidine 20 mg by
intermittent IV bolus every 12 hours. Available is famotidine
injection 20 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride 50 mL to infuse over 30
minutes. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many
mL/hour? - ANSWER-100 mL/hour
Rationale:
1. (50 mL/30 min) x (60 min/1 hour) = x
2. x = 100 mL/hour
