    Calculate the flow rate in mL/hr. (Equpment used is programmable in whole mL/hr) 180 mL 0.45% NS in 40 min by infusion group

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given: Volume of fluid: 180 mL Infusion time: 40 minutes Step 1: Convert infusion time to hours: Infusion time (hr) = 40 min / 60 min/hr Infusion time (hr) = 0.67 hr Step 2: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 180 mL / 0.6667 hr Infusion rate (mL/hr) = 269.987 mL/hr Step 3: Round to the nearest whole number: Infusion rate (mL/hr) ≈ 270 mL/hr
