    A client is ordered to receive 1000ml of 0.9% saline over 4 hours. At what rate will the nurse set the IV pump in mL/hr? (Enter a number only).

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Identify the total volume: The client is ordered to receive 1000 mL of 0.9% saline. Identify the infusion time: The infusion time is 4 hours. Set up the calculation: We need to find out the IV pump rate in mL/hr. We can use the following formula: (Total volume) / (Infusion time) = IV pump rate 4. Plug in the values and calculate: (1000 mL) / (4 hours) = 250 mL/hr
