Question 24 :
The healthcare provider prescribes a hydration intravenous (IV) infusion of normal saline to run over 3 hours at 30 mL/hour for a client who is dehydrated and weighs 154 pounds. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour? (Enter numerical value only.)
Correct Answer: ["30 mL\/h"]
To calculate the infusion rate, we need to use the formula:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = Volume (mL) / Time (h)
In this case, the volume and the time are given in the prescription, so we just need to plug in the values:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = 30 mL / 1 h
Simplifying, we get:
Infusion rate (mL/h) = 30 mL/h
