    Calculation

    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.)

    mL/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    - Calculate the infusion rate in mL/minute: 200 mL / 20 minutes = 10 mL/minute - Convert the infusion rate to mL/hour: 10 mL/minute x 60 minutes/hour = 600 mL/hour - Set the infusion pump to deliver 600 mL/hour
