Question 6 :
The nurse is initiating a 500 mL IV of normal saline at 60 mL/hour for a client with heart failure. How many hours should the IV infuse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)
Correct Answer: ["8.3 hours"]
- Divide the volume of the IV by the infusion rate to get the duration of the infusion. 500 mL / 60 mL/hour = 8.333 hours.
- Round to the nearest tenth. 8.333 hours ≈ 8.3 hours.
