(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    hrs

    Explanation & Rationale

    To calculate the infusion time, use the formula: Time (hr) = Total Volume (mL) ÷ Rate (mL/hr) Step 1: Identify values Total Volume = 1000 mL Rate = 200 mL/hr Step 2: Divide volume by rate 1000 ÷ 200 = 5 Step 3: Round if necessary 5 hr is already a whole number.
