Simulated
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) 750 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct answer
94 mL/hr
Rationale
To calculate the rate, divide the total volume to be infused by the time (in hours). Rate = 750 mL ├À 8 hr = 93.75 mL/hr. Rounded to the nearest whole number: 94 mL/hr.
