    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer DSW 1200 mL IV to infuse over 8 hours. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the nearest whole number & fill in the blank with the numerical value only)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Total volume to be infused = 1200 mL Total infusion time = 8 hours Calculate the flow rate in mL per hour (mL/hr): Flow rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total infusion time (hours) = 1200 mL / 8 hours = 150 mL/hr
