    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride (NaC1) 1000 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

    Given: Total volume to infuse: 1000 mL Infusion time: 8 hours To find: Infusion rate (mL/hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume / Infusion time Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 1000 mL / 8 hours = 125 mL/hr
