A physician has asked the nurse to use microdrip tubing to administer a prescribed dosage of IV solution to a client. What is the standard drop factor of microdrip tubing?
A) 30 drops/ml
B) 60 drops/ml
C) 90 drops/ml
D) 120 drops/ml
B
Feedback:
Microdrip tubing, regardless of manufacturer, delivers a standard volume of 60 drops/ml. Macrodrip tubing manufacturers, however, have not been consistent in designing the size of the opening. Therefore, the nurse must read the package label to determine the drop factor (number of drops/ml).
