Order: NS 1,500 mL IV at 125 mL/h for 12 hours. Since the drop factor is 20 gtt/mL, the initial flow rate was correctly set at 42 gtt/min. After six hours, 900 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is behind schedule.
 
  Compute the new flow rate in gtt/min. so that the infusion will finish on time. If 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. 45 gtt/min.
  3. 21 gtt/min.
  4. 50 gtt/min.
