Calculation
The healthcare provider prescribes one liter of 1/4 strength saline in 5% dextrose solution (D5 1/4 NS) to infuse at a keep-open rate over 24 hours. The IV administration set delivers 15 gtt/mL. The nurse should regulate the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
mL/hr
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Convert liters to milliliters: 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) Calculate the infusion rate in mL/hr: Infusion rate (mL/hr) = Total volume (mL) / Total time (hours) = 1000 mL / 24 hours = 41.67 mL/hr Round to the nearest whole number: = 42 mL/hr
