A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% Sodium Chloride IV to a child weighing 40 kg, with an order to infuse 10 mL/kg over 6 hours. At what rate should the nurse set the IV pump in mL/hour to ensure accurate and safe delivery of fluids? Round to the nearest whole number

Identify the child's weight and the prescribed volume per kilogram Child's Weight: 40 kg Prescribed Volume: 10 mL/kg Calculate the total volume to be infused Total Volume = Weight × Volume per kg Total Volume = 40 × 10 = 400 mL Calculate the hourly infusion rate Infusion Time: 6 hours Rate (mL/hour) = Total Volume ÷ Total Time Rate = 400 ÷ 6 = 66.666... Round the final answer to the nearest whole number 66.666... rounded = 67 = 67 mL/hour
