The healthcare provider prescribed 2 liters of 5% dextrose in water (D;W) to infuse in 24 hours. The IV administration set delivers 15 gtt/mL. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Given: Volume of fluid: 2 liters (1 liter = 1000 mL, so 2 liters = 2000 mL) Infusion time: 24 hours Formula: Flow rate (mL/hr) = Volume (mL) / Time (hr) Step 1: Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Flow rate (mL/hr) = 2000 mL / 24 hr Flow rate (mL/hr) = 83.33 mL/hr Step 2: Round to the nearest whole number: Flow rate (mL/hr) ≈ 83 mL/hr
