The nurse receives a report at 0700 on a client who has 700 mL of IV fluid left in the bag. The IV is running at 100 mL per hour. At what time should the nurse expect to change the bag (military time)?

Determine the remaining volume and the flow rate: Remaining volume: 700 mL Flow rate: 100 mL/hour Calculate the time it will take to infuse the remaining volume: Time (hours) = Remaining Volume / Flow Rate Time = 700 mL / 100 mL/hour Time = 7 hours Determine the time the bag will be empty: The nurse receives the report at 0700 (7:00 AM). Add the 7 hours to 0700: 0700 + 7 hours = 1400
