Order: D5W 1000 mL IV at 50 mL/h for 20 hours. The initial flow rate was correctly set at 50 mcgtt/min. After five hours, 600 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is ahead of schedule.
 
  Compute the new flow rate in mcgtt/min so that the infusion will finish on time. If flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25 of the original rate, to what rate would you reset the drip rate, or would you contact the prescriber instead? 1. Contact the prescriber.
  2. 40 mcgtt/min
  3. 12 mcgtt/min
  4. 2.4 mcgtt/min

Question 2

Order: NS 1000 mL IV stat. at 125 mL/h for eight hours. Because the drop factor is 10 gtt/mL, the initial flow rate was correctly set at 21 gtt/min. After four hours, 600 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is behind schedule.
 
  Compute the new flow rate in gtt/min so that the infusion will finish on time. If flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25 of the original rate, to what rate would you reset the drip rate, or would you contact the prescriber instead? 1. Contact the prescriber.
  2. 25 gtt/min
  3. 150 gtt/min
  4. 23 gtt/min
