Calculation
The healthcare provider prescribes 1 liter of lactate Ringer's to infuse in 8 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.)
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Convert the total volume from liters (L) to milliliters (mL). Total volume = 1 L × 1000 mL/L = 1000 mL. Infusion time = 8 hours. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hour). Infusion rate (mL/hour) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hour) = 1000 mL / 8 hours = 125 mL/hour. Answer: 125
