Correct Answer is ["56gtt\/min"]

Explanation

To calculate the infusion rate in gtt/min, we need to know the total number of drops (gtt) needed

for the entire infusion and the time it takes to complete the infusion. Given:

Ringer's lactate: 500 mL
Infusion time: 3 hours

Drop factor: 20 gtt/mL

First, let's calculate the total number of drops needed for the entire infusion: Total drops = Volume (mL) × Drop factor (gtt/mL)

Total drops = 500 mL × 20 gtt/mL Total drops = 10,000 gtt

Next, we need to determine the infusion rate in gtt/min. Since the infusion time is given in hours, we need to convert it to minutes:

Infusion time (min) = Infusion time (hours) × 60 min/hour Infusion time (min) = 3 hours × 60 min/hour

Infusion time (min) = 180 min

Now, we can calculate the infusion rate in gtt/min:

Infusion rate (gtt/min) = Total drops / Infusion time (min) Infusion rate (gtt/min) = 10,000 gtt / 180 min

Infusion rate (gtt/min) ≈ 55.6 gtt/min (Rounded off- 56 gtt/min)

A. Administer each unit over 3 hr. B. Use an 18-gauge needle to obtain venous access. C. Obtain the client's vital signs every 30 min throughout the transfusion. D. Use blood that is less than a month old.
