Calculation
A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in 0.9% sodium chloride 250 mL IV to infuse over 4 hr to a pregnant client who has a blood glucose level of 65 mg/dL. 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
Explanation & Rationale
Total Volume: 250 mL Total Time: 4 hr Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hr) = 250 mL / 4 hr = 62.5 mL/hr. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. = 63 mL/hr.
