A client is ordered 380 mL of packed red blood cells over 4 hours. What is the rate of infusion to be set on the IV pump? (Round to a whole number) mL/hr .

Step 1 is: Calculate the total minutes for the infusion time. 4 hours× 60 minutes/hour = 240 minutes. Step 2 is: Determine the infusion rate in mL/min. 380 mL÷ 240 minutes = 1.5833… mL/min. Step 3 is: Convert the rate to mL/hr (the required units). 380 mL÷ 4 hours = 95 mL/hr. Step 4 is: Round the final rate to a whole number. 95 mL/hr. The rate of infusion to be set on the IV pump is 95 mL/hr.
