    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/hour 

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Total volume to be infused = 1000 mL Infusion time in hours = 2.5 hours Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour: Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours) = 1000 mL / 2.5 hours = 400 mL/hour
