Correct Answer is ["25"]

Explanation

Finding out how many milliliters are infused per minute: 1hr/100mL×1 hr/60min=100mL/60 min

Finding the drops per minute, we multiply the mL/min by the drop factor: 100/60 x 15/1 = 1500/60 gtt/min =25gtt/min

So, the nurse should set the manual IV infusion to deliver 25 gtt/min.
