Correct Answer is ["50"]

Explanation

To calculate the infusion rate in gtts/min, the nurse should use the following formula: Infusion rate (gtts/min) = Volume (mL) x Drop factor (gtts/mL) / Time (min) Plugging in the given values, we get:

Infusion rate (gtts/min) = 400 mL x 60 gtt/mL / 480 min Simplifying, we get:

Infusion rate (gtts/min) = 50 gtt/min

Therefore, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 50 gtts/min.
