Calculation
A client is receiving a 200 mL bolus of 0.9% sodium chloride 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
Calculation: Total volume to be infused = 200 mL Infusion time in minutes = 20 minutes Convert the infusion time to hours: Infusion time (hours) = Infusion time (minutes) / 60 minutes/hour = 20 minutes / 60 minutes/hour = 1/3 hour Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) = 200 mL / (1/3 hour) = 200 mL x 3 / hour = 600 mL/hour
