    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% 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

    Total Volume to Infuse = 1,000 mL Total Infusion Time = 8 hr Calculate the Flow Rate in mL/hr Flow Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL) / Total Infusion Time (hr) = 1,000 mL / 8 hr = 125 mL/hr
