A client is receiving a 200 mL bolus of 0.9% normal saline (NS) to be infused over 20 minutes. The nurse should set the Infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)

Use the infusion rate formula: Infusion Rate (mL/hour) = Volume (mL) ÷ Time (hours) Convert time from minutes to hours: Given 20 minutes, convert to hours: 20 ÷ 60 = 1/3 hours Substitute values into the formula: Infusion Rate = 200 mL ÷ (1/3 hours) Divide by a fraction (which is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal): 200 × 3 = 600 mL/hour Final Answer: 600 mL/hour
