Prescribed is 750 mL of IV fluids to infuse in 10 hours. What rate should the nurse program the IV infusion pump for?

To calculate the rate of IV infusion, the nurse should divide the volume of fluid by the time in hours. In this case, 750 mL divided by 10 hours equals 75 mL per hour. Therefore, the nurse should program the IV infusion pump for 75 mL per hour.
