A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride 2.5 L IV to infuse over 24 hr. How many mL should the nurse administer per hour? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.) ________ mL/hr

Step 1 is to convert the total volume from Liters (L) to milliliters (mL) Total mL = 2.5 × 1,000 2.5 × 1,000 = 2,500 mL Step 2 is to calculate the flow rate in mL per hour mL/hr = Total volume ÷ Total hours 2,500 ÷ 24 = 104.1666... Step 3 is to round to the nearest whole number 104.1666... ≈ 104 Answer: 104
