At 1530 the nurse observes 550 mL of IV fluid is yet to be infused for a client receiving 1,000 mL dextrose 0.5% and 0.25% sodium chloride at 88 mL/hour. At what time should the nurse calculate the fluid will be infused based on the 24-hour clock?

Step 1: Identify the remaining volume. 550 mL Step 2: Identify the infusion rate. 88 mL/hour Step 3: Calculate the time required to complete the infusion. 550 ÷ 88 = 6.25 hours Step 4: Convert hours and minutes. 0.25 × 60 = 15 minutes Step 5: Add the time to the start time. 1530 + 6 hours 15 minutes = 2145
