A patient's IV flow needs to be checked frequently so that any adjustments in rate will be small. The allowable percent of change varies according to the institution's policy, patient's condition, and other factors. For this problem set only, assume that the patient's flow rate may be reset if the maximum variation from the physician's order is not more than 25. Compute the percent of variation before resetting IV flow rates, and indicate either the new flow rate you will set or the appropriate action you will take.
 
  The following IV order will be regulated manually:
  1,000 mL D5W IV to infuse in 8 hours.
  The drop factor is 15 gtt/mL.
 
  1,000 mL D5W IV to infuse at 250 mL/h.
 
  Total infusion time: __________ hours
 Fill in the blank(s) with correct word
