    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer 5% dextrose in 0.45% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 12 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

    Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate. 1,000 mL ÷ 12 hr = 83.33 mL/hr Step 2: Round to the nearest whole number. 83.33 mL/hr ≈ 83 mL/hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 83 mL/hr.
