Question 20 :
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 1,500 mL IV over 8 hr to a pregnant client who has gastroenteritis. 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: ["187.5 mL\/hr"]
Infusion rate = Volume / Time Therefore;
Infusion rate= 1,500 mL / 8 hr
Infusion rate = 187.5 mL/hr
Rounded off to the nearest whole number; 188ml/hr
