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.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. The priority is to assess the client's uterine fundus to determine if it is well-contracted. Excessive bleeding could be indicative of uterine atony, and prompt assessment is crucial for intervention.
B. Assisting the client on a bedpan to urinate is a secondary intervention. While a distended bladder can contribute to uterine atony, assessing the fundus comes first to determine the cause.
C. Increasing fluid intake is important for postpartum recovery, but it is not the immediate priority in this situation.
D. Preparing to administer oxytocic medication may be necessary if uterine atony is identified during the fundal assessment. However, assessing the fundus comes first to guide appropriate interventions.
