Doctor's order: 750 mL NS to infuse over 8 hours. How many mL/hr will you set the IV pump? Round to the nearest whole number.
Correct answer
94
Rationale
To calculate the mL/hr rate, divide the total mL by the total hours: 750 mL / 8 hours = 93.75 mL/hr. Since the answer needs to be rounded to the nearest whole number, the correct rate would be 94 mL/hr. This ensures the correct infusion rate for the IV pump. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the infusion rate based on the given parameters.
