Explanation

To calculate the infusion rate for antibiotic X, the nurse needs to use the formula: gtt/min = (Volume x Drop factor) / Time

Plugging in the values from the question, we get:

gtt/min = (50 mL x 20 gtt/mL) / 20 min Simplifying, we get:

gtt/min = 1000 gtt / 20 min Dividing, we get:

gtt/min = 50 gtt/min

Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 50 gtt/min.
