Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1000 mL IV to infuse over 5 hr to a client who is postoperative following a cesarean birth. 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: 1000 mL Time: 5 hours Steps to solve: Determine the flow rate: Set up a proportion to solve for the unknown flow rate (X): 1000 mL/5 hr = X mL/1 hr Cross-multiplying gives us: 1000 mL x 1 hr = 5 hr x X mL Simplifying: 1000 = 5X Solving for X: X = 1000 / 5 = 200 mL/hr
