You are a new nurse working the evening shift on a medical-surgical unit. One of your patients, Mrs. Patel, is a 72-year-old woman admitted for dehydration and mild confusion. The primary care provider has ordered 1 liter of normal saline (NS) IV to infuse over 8 hours to help correct her fluid deficit. Your unit uses manual IV tubing with a drop factor of 15 gtt/mL, and there are no electronic IV pumps available. You prepare to hang the IV and must calculate the correct drip rate in drops per minute (gtt/min) to ensure safe and accurate delivery.
