Correct Answer is ["120"]
Explanation
To calculate the infusion rate in gtt/min, the nurse needs to use the formula: gtt/min = (mL/hr x drop factor) / 60
Plugging in the given values, we get:
gtt/min = (120 mL/hr x 60 gtt/mL) / 60
gtt/min = 7200 gtt/hr / 60 gtt/min = 120 gtt/min
Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 120 gtt/min.
