    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's (LR) IV 100 mL over 15 minutes. What should the nurse set the IV infusion pump to deliver in mL/hr?

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 100 mL ÷ 15 min = 6.66666667 mL/min. Step 2 is 6.66666667 mL/min × 60 min/hr = 400 mL/hr. Final calculated answer is 400 mL/hr. .
