    A client is prescribed 1 g potassium phosphate IV to be infused continuously over 6 hr. Available is 1 g potassium phosphate in 250 mL dextrose 5% water (DSW). The nurse should set the IV pump to run at how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.).

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: (250 mL ÷ 6 hr) = 41.6667 mL/hr Step 2: Round to the nearest whole number = 42 mL/hr. Final answer: 42 mL/hr.
