The healthcare provider prescribes 100 mL of 0.9% normal saline to be infused within 15 minutes. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numerical value only.)

Normal Saline Infusion Calculation: Step 1: Determine the volume to be infused. 100 mL Step 2: Determine the time for infusion. 15 minutes Step 3: Convert time to hours. 15 minutes ÷ 60 minutes/hour Result: 0.25 hours Step 4: Calculate the rate in mL/hr. 100 mL ÷ 0.25 hours Result: 400 mL/hr
