A client receives a prescription for 3 liters of lactated Ringer's IV to infuse over 24 hours. How many mL/hr should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only)

To calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr, you would convert the total volume of lactated Ringer's IV from liters to milliliters (since there are 1,000 milliliters in a liter, 3 liters is equivalent to 3,000 milliliters) and then divide by the total number of hours over which the infusion is to be administered. In this case, 3,000 mL divided by 24 hours results in an infusion rate of 125 mL/hr.
