The primary healthcare provider (PHCP) prescribes three liters of 0.9% saline to infuse over 24-hours. How many mL per hour will be administered to the client? Fill in the blank.
Correct answer
125 mL/hour
Rationale
To calculate mL/hour, convert 3 liters to 3000 mL (since 1 L = 1000 mL) and divide by 24 hours: 3000 mL ├â┬À 24 hr = 125 mL/hour.
