Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 6 hr to a postpartum client. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 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
Formula: Flow Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL)/ Time in hrs Given: Total volume: 1,000 mL Infusion time: 6 hours Flow Rate (mL/hr) = 1,000 mL / 6 hours = 166.67 mL/hr Rounding to the nearest whole number: 167 mL/hr Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 167 mL/hr.
