    Calculation

    Order: 500 mL of NS is to infuse over 4 hours. After 2 hours, there are 350 mL remaining in the bag. Recalculate a new flow rate (mL/hr) in order to finish the IV on time. Do not provide the unit of measurement. Only provide the number. Round to the nearest whole number.

    mL/hr

    Explanation & Rationale

    Step 1: Total volume ordered = 500 Step 2: Time ordered = 4 hr Step 3: Time elapsed = 2 hr Step 4: Remaining time = 4 − 2 = 2 hr Step 5: Remaining volume = 350 Step 6: New flow rate = 350 ÷ 2 = 175 Final Answer: 175
