The healthcare provider prescribes a liter of normal saline 0.9% to be infused over 9 hours for a client who is NPO. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number).

Calculation: Total volume to infuse and convert to milliliters (mL). Total volume = 1 liter 1L = 1000mL Total volume (mL)= 1000 mL. Infusion time = 9 hours. Calculate the infusion rate in milliliters per hour (mL/hr). Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hr) = 1000 mL / 9 hr = 111.11 mL/hr. Round to the nearest whole number = 111 mL/hr.
