    A nurse is assisting with care of a client who has a prescription for 3000 mL of intravenous fluids over the next 24 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the nearest whole number. Do not add any labels to the answer)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Identify the total volume and total time Total Volume = 3000 mL Total Time = 24 hr Calculate the hourly rate Hourly Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume ÷ Total Time Hourly Rate = 3000 ÷ 24 Hourly Rate ≈ 125 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number = 125 mL/hr
