A client receives a prescription for lactated Ringer's 2 liters IV to be infused over 20 hours. How many mL should the nurse program the infusion to pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only.)

Given: Volume of fluid: 2 liters (1 liter = 1000 mL, so 2 liters = 2000 mL) Infusion time: 20 hours Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 2000 mL / 20 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 100 mL/hr
