Correct Answer is ["21"]

Explanation

Total volume in mL: 3000 mL

Time in hours: 24 hours

Total volume to be infused in minutes: We need to convert hours to minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. Therefore, total time in minutes = 24 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 1440 minutes

Drop factor: 10 gtt/mL

Rate in mL/min: We can divide the total volume (mL) by the total time (minutes) to find the flow rate in mL per minute. Rate (mL/min) = 3000 mL / 1440 minutes = 2.08 mL/min (rounded to two decimal places)

Rate in gtt/min: To find the rate in gtt/min, multiply the rate in mL/min by the drop factor. Rate (gtt/min) = 2.08 mL/min * 10 gtt/mL = 20.8 gtt/min

Rounding the answer to the nearest whole number: 20.8 gtt/min rounds off to the nearest whole number to 21 gtt/min.
