    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1,800 mL IV to infuse over 12 hr for a client who has postpartum hemorrhage. 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: 1800 mL Total Time: 12 hrs Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hr) = 1800 mL/12 hr = 150 mL/hr.
