    Calculation

    The nurse is preparing 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

    Given: Total volume of infusion: 1000 mL Infusion rate: 125 mL/hour Infusion started 5 hours ago Step 1: Calculate the volume infused in 5 hours: Volume infused = Infusion rate (mL/hour) x Time (hours) Volume infused = 125 mL/hour x 5 hours Volume infused = 625 mL Step 2: Calculate the remaining volume: Remaining volume = Total volume - Volume infused Remaining volume = 1000 mL - 625 mL Remaining volume = 375 mL
