    Calculate the flow rate to be administered by an infusion pump,__________(Round to the nearest whole number) Ordered: 1,000 mL NS over 6 h

    mL/h

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given values: Total volume = 1,000 mL Infusion time = 6 h Calculate the flow rate in mL/h using the formula: Flow rate (mL/h) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (h) = 1000 mL / 6 h = 166.6667 mL/h. Round the answer to the nearest whole number. = 167 mL/h.
