a nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (d$_5$w) 400 ml iv to infuse over 1 hr. the drop factor of the manual iv tubing is 15 gtt/ml. the nurse should set the manual iv infusion to deliver how many gtt/min? (round the answer to the nearest whole number. use a leading zero if it applies. do not use a trailing zero.)
