Question 7 :
A nurse is assisting in the care of a client who is to receive 0.9% sodium chloride 1,800 mL IV over 6 hr. The nurse should ensure the IV pump is set 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: ["300ml\/hr"]
To calculate the infusion rate (mL/hr), you can use the following formula:
Infusion Rate (mL/hr)=Total Volume (mL)/Total Time (hr)
In this case:
Infusion Rate=1,800 mL/6 hr
Infusion Rate=300mL/hr
Therefore, the nurse should ensure the IV pump is set to deliver 300 mL/hr for the 0.9% sodium chloride infusion over 6 hours, rounded to the nearest whole number.
