Problem
Mr. Singh is post operative in Day Surgery from a minor procedure. He will remain in the day surgery unit for 8 hours prior to discharge home. His IV is RL infusing at 125mL/h and will be discontinued after he receives the full 8 hours of fluid. The IV tubing has a drip factor of 20gtt/mL.
a) What rate will the nurse set the IV to infuse at?
b) How many mL will Mr. Singh receive in his 8 hours before discharge?
