The policy and procedure for blood administration calls for giving no more than 30 mLs in the first 15 minutes. To give that much through tubing with 10 gtts/mL, what would the drip rate be?
1. 20 gtts/min
2. 5 gtts/min
3. 12 gtts/min
4. 60 gtts/min
20 gtts/min
Rationale: If the client is to receive 30 mLs in 15 minutes, that would be 2 mLs per minute. At 10 gtts per mL, that would be 20 gtts per minute. The other amounts are incorrectly calculated.
