For medications that require a precise flow rate, it is common to use an IV that delivers fluid at a rate of 60 drops per milliliter. This makes it easier to determine the number of drops per minute since the medication is prescribed in milliliters per minute. If Patient B is prescribed 0.225 milliliters per minute of dopamine, determine the number of drops per minute that the nurse should use when setting up the IV. Type the numerical answer in the box, including the first decimal place.

The nurse begins to set up an IV for Patient B. (An IV is an intravenous line that uses a soft, flexible tube placed inside a vein to give a person medicine or fluids.) The nurse uses a standard dopamine infusion solution that has 80 milligrams of dopamine in 100 milliliters of liquid. Convert 100 milliliters to teaspoons. (Use the fact that 1 teaspoon is equivalent to 5 milliliters.)
