A client is receiving a litre of 0.9% sodium chloride IV 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 is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Total volume to be infused = 1 litre Convert the total volume from liters to milliliters: Total volume (mL) = Total volume (liters) x 1000 mL/litre = 1 litre x 1000 mL/litre = 1000 mL Total infusion time in hours = 12 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Total infusion time (hours) = 1000 mL / 12 hours ≈ 83.33 mL/hour Round to the nearest whole number: Rounded infusion rate = 83 mL/hour
