    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 200 mL over 30 min. The nurse should set the IV infusion pump to administer 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 = Total volume (mL)/Time (hr)​ Given: Total volume = 200 mL Time = 30 min = 0.5 hr Flow rate= 200ml/0.05hr =400 mL/hr The IV infusion pump should be set to administer 400 mL/hr.
