“CONSIDER THIS SCENARIO: A nurse working in a rural long-term care facility needs to complete a time tape for a patient needing basic rehydration. A 1,000 mL I.V. bag of 0.9% sodium chloride is to infuse by gravity drip with a tubing drip factor of 15 gtt/mL. The provider wants this fluid to infuse over the next 8 hours. How will the nurse complete the needed calculations and time taping? (Remember to round to nearest whole milliliter, drop, and minute.)”
