The policy and procedure for blood administration call for giving no more than 30 mL in the first 15 minutes. To give that much through tubing with 10 gtts/mL, what would the drip rate be?
1. 60 gtts/min
2. 20 gtts/min
3. 12 gtts/min
4. 5 gtts/min
2
Rationale 1: This is an incorrect calculation of the drip rate.
Rationale 2: If the patient is to receive 30 mL in 15 minutes, that would be 2 mL per minute. At 10 gtts per mL, that would be 20 gtts per minute.
Rationale 3: This is an incorrect calculation of the drip rate.
Rationale 4: This is an incorrect calculation of the drip rate.
