Calculation
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is pregnant and has a prescription for dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride 250 mL IV to infuse over 4 hr. The nurse should ensure that the IV pump is set to administer how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Given: Total volume: 250 mL Time: 4 hours Steps to solve: Determine the flow rate: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 250 mL/4 hr = X mL/1 hr Cross-multiplying gives us: 250 mL x 1 hr = 4 hr x X mL Simplifying: 250 = 4X Solving for X: X = 250 / 4 = 62.5 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number: 63 mL/hr.
