    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

    The amount of fluid that has been infused so far is 85 x 2 = 170 mL. Now, we can subtract this amount from the total volume of fluid in the secondary infusion, which is 440 mL. The result is 440 - 170 = 270 mL.
