    Calculation

    A client with a renal calculi receives a prescription for an IV infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride 1,000 ml to be infused over 2.5 hours. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

    mL/he

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Volume of fluid: 1000 mL Infusion time: 2.5 hours Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 1000 mL / 2.5 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 400 mL/hr
