    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 deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only.)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Volume of fluid: 200 mL Infusion time: 20 minutes Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Convert infusion time from minutes to hours: Infusion time (hr) = 20 minutes / 60 minutes/hr Infusion time (hr) = 1/3 hour Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL / (1/3) hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 200 mL x (3/1) hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 600 mL/hr
