Calculation
The healthcare provider (HCP) prescribes 1 liter of 0.9% sodium chloride, USP IV to be infused over 12 hours for a client. How many mL/hr should the nurse program the infusion pump to deliver? (Enter numerical value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Convert liters to milliliters: 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hours) = 1000 mL / 12 hours = 83.33 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number: 83.33 mL/hr rounds to 83 mL/hr
