Question 1 :
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 250 mL IV to infuse over 30 min. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: ["500ml\/hr"]
To calculate the mL/hr for the lactated Ringer's IV infusion over 30 minutes, you can use the following formula:
Rate (mL/hr)=Volume (mL)/Time (hr)
In this case:
Rate=250 mL/ 0.5 hr
Rate=500mL/hr
Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 500 mL/hr for the lactated Ringer's IV infusion over 30 minutes.
