A client is receiving a secondary infusion of vancomycin 1,500 mg in 250 ml to be infused over two hours. The IV administration set delivers 15 gtt/mL. How many gtt/min should the nurse regulate the Infusion? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
Correct answer

Rationale
Using the formula (250 mL x 15 gtt/mL) / 120 min = 31.25 gtt/min, rounded to 31 gtt/min.
