Question 1 of 5

A client is prescribed 1 g potassium phosphate IV to be infused continuously over 6 hr. Available is 1 g potassium phosphate in 250 mL dextrose 5% water (DSW). The nurse should set the IV pump to run at how many mL/hr?

Your Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 42 mL/hr.
To calculate the infusion rate, we first convert the total volume (250 mL) to the total time (6 hours). 250 mL / 6 hours = 41.67 mL/hr. Since we cannot set an IV pump to run at a decimal rate, we round up to the nearest whole number, which is 42 mL/hr.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculated infusion rate based on the prescription.
