    Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr. and Units/hr. (Equipment used is programmable in whole mL/hr and Show all work) Order: 100 mL 0.45% NS in 45 min by infusion pump. Calculate rate in ml/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Volume of fluid: 100 mL Infusion time: 45 minutes Step 1: Convert infusion time to hours: Infusion time (hr) = 45 min / 60 min/hr Infusion time (hr) = 0.75 hr Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) Flow rate (mL/hr) = 100 mL / 0.75 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 133.3333333 mL/hr Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number: Flow rate (mL/hr) ≈ 133 mL/hr
