    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 750 mL IV to infuse over 2 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 be infused = 750 mL. Infusion time in hours = 2 hr. Calculate the infusion rate in mL per hour. Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 750 mL / 2 hr = 375 mL/hr.
