4- Order: NS 1,000 mL IV stat. at 125 mL/h for eight hours. Because the drop factor is 10 gtt/mL, the initial flow rate was correctly set at 21 gtt/min. After four hours, 600 mL remain to be infused. The infusion is behind schedule. Compute the new flow rate in gtt/min. so that the infusion will finish on time. If flow rates may not be adjusted by more than 25% of the original rate, to what rate would you reset the drip rate, or would you contact the prescriber instead? Contact the prescriber. 25 gtt/min. 150 gtt/min. 23 gtt/min.

Lactated Ringer's and $5 \%$ dextrose injection (or $\mathrm{D}_{5} \mathrm{LR}$ ) is a sterile solution for fluid replenishment via intravenous administration. A nurse administers $\mathrm{D}_{5} \mathrm{L} \mathrm{R}$ at $75 \mathrm{mL} / \mathrm{h},$ where the drop factor is $10 .$ gtts/mL. Determine the flow rate in gtts/min.
