Fill in the blank with your answer. INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROUNDING OFF NUMBERS: 1) Round off gtts / min to the nearest whole number. EXAMPLES: 16.7 gtts / min = 17 gtts / min OR 14.2 gtts / min = 14 gtts / min 2) Round off answers LESS than 1 to 2 decimal points (hundredths). EXAMPLES: 0.035 = 0.04 OR 0.201 = 0.20 3) Round off answers GREATER than 1 to 1 decimal point (tenths). EXAMPLES: 1.65 = 1.7 OR 1.23 = 1.2 4) Round off mL / hr to the nearest whole number. EXAMPLES: 1.4 mL / hr = 1 mL / hr OR 1.6 mL / hr = 2 mL / hr ________________________________________________________________ A client is prescribed 1G potassium phosphate IV to be infused continuously over 6 hours.
