The healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes 0.9% normal saline 500 mL IV bolus to be infused over 30 minutes. How many mL/hour should the nurse set the infusion pump? (Enter numerical value only.)

Calculation Steps: Step 1: Determine the total volume to be infused: 500 mL. Result = 500 mL. Step 2: Convert time from minutes to hours: 30 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour = 0.5 hours. Result = 0.5 hours. Step 3: Calculate the infusion rate: 500 mL ÷ 0.5 hours = 1000 mL/hour. Result = 1000 mL/hour.
