18. The order on the patient's chart in a busy emergency center reads “1500 mL Plasmanate I.V. over 10 hours." The administration set is a 15 gtt/mL set. At how many drops per minute will you set the admin- istration set to drip? A few hours later another patient comes into the busy emergency cen- ter. The order on that chart reads “Plasmanate I.V.t.r.a. 150 mL/hr.” The patient's I.V. has 15 gtt/mL administration set. At how many drops per minute will you set the administration set to drip? The standing order for stable trauma patients is “N.S. t.r.a. 90 mL/hr" using a 10 gtt/mL administration set. At how many drops per minute will you set the administration set to drip?
