A nurse is preparing to administer cefazolin 1 g in 0.9% sodium chloride 100 mL via intermittent IV bolus 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.)
Explanation
Volume delivered per minute:
Flow rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL/hr (from previous steps)
Volume per minute (mL/min) = Flow rate (mL/hr) / 60 minutes/hour
Volume per minute (mL/min) = 200 mL/hr / 60 minutes/hour = 3.33 mL/min (round to two decimals for accuracy)
Convert volume per minute to gtt/min using the drop factor:
Drop factor = 15 gtt/mL
Volume per minute (mL/min) = 3.33 mL/min (rounded value)
Flow rate (gtt/min) = Volume per minute (mL/min) x Drop factor (gtt/mL)
Flow rate (gtt/min) = 3.33 mL/min x 15 gtt/mL
Flow rate (gtt/min) = 50 gtt/min (round to nearest whole number as requested)
Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver approximately 50 gtt/min.
