Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. 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
Calculation: Total volume = 1,000 mL. Infusion time = 8 hr. Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr. Flow rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 1,000 mL / 8 hr = 125 mL/hr.
