A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 6 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.)

Calculation: Identify the total volume and infusion time Total Volume: 1,000 mL Time: 6 hours Calculate the flow rate Flow Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume ÷ Time Flow Rate = 1,000 ÷ 6 Flow Rate ≈ 166.67 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number = 167 mL/hr
