A nurse is preparing to administer an IV fluid bolus of 200 mL dextrose 5% in water over 30 min. 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 the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["100"]

To calculate the flow rate for an IV fluid bolus, you can use the formula: (Volume in mL * Drop factor) / Time in minutes. For a 200 mL dextrose 5% in water to be administered over 30 minutes with a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL, the calculation would be (200 * 15) / 30, which equals 100 gtt/min.
