A client's IV is infusing at the rate 25 gtt/min. The drop factor is 10 gtt/mL. How many mL will infuse over 4 hours?
1. 30 mL
2. 60 mL
3. 300 mL
4. 600 mL
4
Rationale 1: The following equation can be used: mL = 1 mL/10 gtt x 25 gtt/1 min x 60 min/1 hr x 4 hours. Multiply the numerators and then divide by the denominators. The client will receive 600 mL in 4 hours.
