    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to administer total parental nutrition (TPN) 1800 mL to infuse over 24 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 trailing zero.)

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Total volume to infuse: 1800 mL Infusion time: 24 hours To find: Infusion rate (mL/hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume / Infusion time Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 1800 mL / 24 hours = 75 mL/hr
