    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 12 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

    Flow rate (mL/hr)=Total volume (mL)/Infusion time (hr) Insert the given values: Total volume = 1,000 mL. Infusion time = 12 hr. Flow rate=1,000 mL/12 hr=83.33 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number: 83.333 rounds to 83 mL/hr
