    Calculation

    The healthcare provider prescribes a liter of normal saline IV 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).

    mL/hour

    Explanation & Rationale

    Given Information: Volume: 1 liter Time: 9 hours Convert liters to milliliters 1 liter = 1000 mL Calculate the infusion rate Infusion rate = Volume / Time Infusion rate = 1000 mL / 9 hours = 111.11 mL/hour Round to the nearest whole number (as instructed) Infusion rate = 111 mL/hour
