### 2. Calculating IV Infusion Rate
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's via continuous IV
infusion at 200 mL/hr. The IV tubing has a drip factor of 10 gtt/mL.
How many gtts/min should the nurse set the IV pump to administer? (Round

gtt/min, which rounds to 33 gtt/min. Accurate calculation of drip rates is essential to
ensure proper medication administration.
