Order: RL 375 mL IV over 3 h. The tubing has a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL a) Calculate the initial flow rate in gtt/min. Round your answer to the nearest gtt/min. b) After 1 hour, 175 mL have infused. Determine the adjusted flow rate (in gtt/min) so that the infusion will finish on time. Round to the nearest gtt/min. c) If flow rate adjustments cannot exceed 25% of the original rate is the adjustment in part b) within the guidelines? Justify your answer
