a) The nurse is preparing to administer a 1L 0.9% NaCl IV fluid
bag at 150mL/hr. The IV tubing contains a Micro Drip set with a
drop factor of 60gtts/mL. In order to administer the IV fluid at
the correct rate, how drops per minute must the nurse observe in
the chamber?b) A heparin drip is ordered for a
patient with a DVT in the RLE. The bag reads heparin 25,000 units
in 500 mL. The initial order instructs the...
The physician ordered Normal Saline 1,000 ml IV at 125 ml/Hr.

b. How much does the child weigh in kg?
The Patient is to receive 500 units/hr, with a drop factor of
60gtt/mL. On hand you have 10,000 units in 500mL D5W Solution.
Calculate how many drops per minute you should set the pump.
The physician wrote an order is to infuse 500 mL of D5W at 125
cc/hr. The drop factor is 15 gtt/ml. What is the flow rate in

500 gtt/min
31 gtt/min
32 gtt/min
50 gtt/min
A medication order calls for the following premixed IV fluid to
be infused at 125 mL/hr.
The maximum recommended rate of infusion for KCl through a
peripheral line is 10mEq/hr. To check that this infusion which is
running at a rate of 125 mL/hr is below the maximum recommended
rate, calculate the infusion rate of KCl in mEq/hr. Please round
the final answer to two decimal places, except no
trailing zeros.
