Calculation
The nurse is preparing a change of shift report for a client who has an IV infusion of 1000 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride. The infusion was started 5 hours ago at a rate of 125 mL/hour via an infusion pump. The nurse should report how many mL remain to be infused to the oncoming nurse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
mL
Explanation & Rationale
Calculation: Calculate the total volume infused: Volume infused (mL) = Infusion rate (mL/hr) x Time (hours) = 125 mL/hr x 5 hours = 625 mL Calculate the remaining volume to be infused: Remaining volume (mL) = Total volume (mL) - Volume infused (mL) = 1000 mL - 625 mL = 375 mL
