Correct Answer is ["100"]

Explanation

To answer this question, we need to use the formula:

IV flow rate (gtt/min) = (Volume to be infused in mL x Drop factor in gtt/mL) / Time of infusion in minutes

Plugging in the given values, we get:

IV flow rate (gtt/min) = (100 mL x 60 gtt/mL) / 60 min Simplifying, we get:

IV flow rate (gtt/min) = 100 gtt/min

Therefore, the nurse should set the IV flow rate to deliver 100 gtt/min.
