hr. The drop factor of the manual IV tubing is 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should adjust the
manual IV infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (Round the answer to the nearest
whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

A nurse is preparing to administer cefixime 8 mg/kg/day PO to divide equally every 12
hr to a toddler who weighs 22 lb. Available is cefixime suspension 100 mg/5 mL. How
many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Round the answer to the nearest
