Expert Solution
Step 1

In the present scenario, the patient has to receive 100ml of NS over 24 hours.

The drop factor is 60 drops/ml.

So we can calculate the drops/minute:

=(Total volume of fluid infused ×drop factor) ÷ Time in minute=(100×60) ÷(24×60)=6000÷1440=4.1 gtt/min

ie, the nurse should give 4 drops/ minute of NS
