14 & 15. can you show step by step please? 14. The client is to receive a 2 mg/min infusion of lidocaine hydrochloride. The drop factor is 60 gtt/mL. The order calls for the addition of 500 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride to 250 mL of D5W. a. An IV pump would be programmed for b. If the infusion is administered by gravity, the IV flow rate would be set for per minute. mL/hr. drops Round final answers to the nearest...
Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified. PLEASE HELP WITH 16 NURSING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 1.
