    Calculation

    A client with renal calculi receives a prescription for an intravenous infusion of 0.9% Sodium chloride Injection, USP 1,000 mL to be infused over 2.5 hours. The nurse shouldprogram 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

    - To calculate the infusion rate, divide the volume by the time: 1000 mL / 2.5 hours = 400 mL/hour - Set the infusion pump to deliver 400 mL/hour of 0.9% Sodium chloride
