A client is ordered to receive a bolus of 200 mL of NSS in 25 minutes. At what rate should the nurse set the IV pump?

To calculate the infusion rate, you need to determine the total volume to be infused and the time over which it will be infused. Total volume to be infused = 200 mL Time for infusion = 25 minutes Infusion rate = Total volume / Time Infusion rate = 200 mL / 25 minutes = 8 mL/min To convert this to mL/hour (since infusion pumps are typically set in mL/hour): Infusion rate = 8 mL/min × 60 minutes/hour = 480 mL/hour
