    Calculation

    The nurse plans to provide the next shift with the 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.)

    mL

    Explanation & Rationale

    - Calculate the volume infused in 2 hours: 85 mL/hour x 2 hours = 170 mL - Subtract the volume infused from the total volume: 440 mL - 170 mL = 270 mL - The remaining volume to be infused is 270 mL
