    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

    Step 1: Identify the total volume. 1000 mL Step 2: Identify the infusion time. 9 hours Step 3: Calculate the infusion rate. 1000 ÷ 9 = 111.11 Rounded to the nearest whole number = 111 mL/hour
