    Calculation

    An infant is receiving 10 mL of 20% intralipids infusing at 0.5 mL/hour. How many hours will the IV infuse? (Enter numeric value only.)

    Hours

    Explanation & Rationale

    An infant is receiving 10 mL of 20% intralipids infusing at 0.5 mL/hour. To calculate the infusion time in hours, we need to divide the total volume of the infusion (10 mL) by the infusion rate (0.5 mL/hour). The IV will infuse for 20 hours (10 mL / 0.5 mL/hour).
