    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for a client who had IV fluids initiated at 0330. The IV fluids are infusing at 120 mL/hr. The nurse should record how many mL of IV fluids on the intake record at 0600?

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    Calculation: Calculate the total time the IV fluids infused in hours. Start time: 0330 End time: 0600 Total time elapsed: 0600 - 0330 is 2 hours and 30 minutes. Total time (hr) = 2.5 hours. Infusion rate = 120 mL/hr. Calculate the total volume infused in milliliters (mL). Total volume (mL) = Infusion rate (mL/hr) x Total time (hr) = 120 mL/hr x 2.5 hr = 300 mL.
