    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for lactated Ringer's IV 4,080 mL/24 hr. The nurse should set the IV infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr to administer half the total volume in the first 8 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

    To calculate: 4,080 mL ÷ 2 = 2,040 mL 2,040 mL ÷ 8 hours = 255 mL/hr. Thus, the nurse should set the IV infusion pump to deliver 255 mL/hr.
