Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.45% sodium chloride 500 mL IV to infuse over 8 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
Flow rate (mL/hr)=Total volume (mL)/Infusion time (hr) Insert the given values: Total volume = 500 mL. Infusion time = 8 hr. Flow rate=500 mL/8 hr=62.5 mL/hr. Round to the nearest whole number: 62.5 rounds to 63 mL/hr
