    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 500 mL IV to a client to infuse over 30 min. 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

    Step 1: Identify total volume to be infused = 500 mL Step 2: Identify total time for infusion = 30 min Step 3: Convert minutes to hours = 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5 hr Step 4: Divide total volume by total time = 500 ÷ 0.5 = 1000
