A nurse is preparing to administer dextrose 5% in water (D5W) 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 10 hours. The nurse should set the IV infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the nearest whole number.)

Step 1: Identify the total volume and infusion time. Total volume = 1,000 mL Infusion time = 10 hours Result at step 1 = 1,000 mL ÷ 10 hours Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr. 1,000 mL ÷ 10 hours = 100 mL/hr Result at step 2 = 100 mL/hr Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number. 100 mL/hr is already a whole number. Result at step 3 = 100 mL/hr
