Solution

First, we need to calculate the total number of drops in the 100 mL solution. Since the standard giving set delivers 20 drops per mL, we multiply 100 mL by 20 drops/mL to get 2000 drops.

Next, we need to determine how many drops to administer per minute. Since the solution should be administered over 30 minutes, we divide the total number of drops (2000) by the total time (30 minutes).

2000 drops ÷ 30 minutes = 66.67 drops/minute

So, the closest answer is A. 67 drops/minute.
