Question 4 :
The nurse is preparing a change of shift report for a client who has a 1000 mL infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP that was started 5 hours ago at a rate of 125 mL/hour via an infusion pump. The nurse should report how many mL remain to be infused to the oncoming nurse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
Correct Answer: ["375 mL."]
To calculate the number of milliliters that remain to be infused, we can use the following formula: Volume remaining = Total volume - Volume infused
In this case, the total volume is 1000 mL and the volume infused is:
125 mL/hour x 5 hours = 625 mL So the volume remaining is:
1000 mL - 625 mL = 375 mL.
