RN Comprehensive Predictor 2023 Proctored Exam
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
Calculate half the total volume: 4080 mL / 2 = 2040 mL. Calculate the hourly rate for the first 8 hours: 2040 mL / 8 hr = 255 mL/hr. Therefore, the nurse should set the IV infusion pump to deliver 255 mL/hr.
