The initial flow rate was correctly set at 10 mcgtt/min. After eight hours, 220 ml of IV fluid remains to be infused. The infusion is behind schedule.
Compute the new flow rate in gtt/min. so that the infusion will finish on time. Note that flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25 of the original rate. To what rate would you reset the drip rate, or would you contact the prescriber instead? 1. Contact the prescriber. 2. 13 gtt/min. 3. 14 gtt/min. 4. 9 gtt/min.
