    Calculation

    A client with Crohn's disease is receiving an IV infusion labeled, "Infliximab 360 mg in 0.9% sodium chloride, USP 260 mL." The client is to receive the infusion over 2.5 hours. At what rate should the nurse set the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

    mL/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    Total volume to be infused = 260 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) = 260 mL / 2.5 hours = 104 mL/hour
