The nurse plans to provide the next shift with the IV fluid balance for a client who had a 440 mL secondary infusion that was started 2 hours ago at a rate of 85 ml/hour via an infusion pump. What is the remaining volume to be infused? (Enter numeric value only.)
To calculate the remaining volume to be infused, we need to subtract the amount of fluid that has been infused from the total volume of the secondary infusion. The amount of fluid that has been infused can be found by multiplying the infusion rate by the duration of the infusion. In this case, the infusion rate is 85 ml/hour and the duration of the infusion is 2 hours, so the amount of fluid that has been infused is 85 x 2 = 170 mL. Therefore, the remaining volume to be infused is 440 - 170 = 270 mL.
