The nurse plans to provide the next shift with the intravenous (IV) fluid balance for a client who had a 440 mL secondary infusion that was started 2 hours ago at a rate of 85 mL/hour via an infusion pump. What is the remaining volume to be infused? (Enter numeric value only.)

Calculate the total volume infused so far: Infusion rate: 85 mL/hour Time elapsed: 2 hours Total volume infused: Volume = Rate x Time Volume = 85 mL/hour * 2 hours = 170 mL Calculate the remaining volume to be infused: Initial volume of secondary infusion: 440 mL Remaining volume: Remaining volume = Initial volume - Volume infused Remaining volume = 440 mL - 170 mL = 270 mL Therefore, there are 270 mL of fluid remaining to be infused.
