    Calculation

    A nurse is preparing to start an IV infusion of lactated Ringer's for a client who sustained a burn injury. The client is prescribed 5,200 mL of fluid over the first 24 hr. How many mL/hr should the nurse set the pump to infuse for the first 8 hr?

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1 is 5200 mL ÷ 2 = 2600 mL. Step 2 is 2600 mL ÷ 8 hr = 325 mL/hr. The final calculated answer is 325.
