    Calculation

    A client is receiving a liter of 0.9% normal saline solution to be administered over 12 hours. The nurse should set the infusion pump to infuse how many ml per hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding to the nearest whole number)

    mL\/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    The client is receiving a liter of 0.9% normal saline solution to be administered over 12 hours. Since 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 mL, the nurse should set the infusion pump to infuse 83 mL per hour (1000 mL / 12 hours).
