Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.45% sodium chloride (NaCl) 2000 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 250
Rationale:
To calculate the rate of IV infusion, divide the total volume (2000 mL) by the total time in hours (8 hrs). 2000 mL รท 8 hrs = 250 mL/hr. This is the correct answer (
Choice
A). Setting the IV pump to deliver 250 mL/hr ensures the proper administration of the fluid over the specified time frame.
Incorrect choices:
B. 125 mL/hr: This would result in the infusion taking twice as long as intended.
C. 300 mL/hr: This would result in the infusion being completed faster than desired.
D. 150 mL/hr: This would result in the infusion taking longer than intended.
E. 350 mL/hr: This rate would be too fast for the 0.45% NaCl solution.
F. 200 mL/hr: This would not deliver the correct amount over 8 hours.
G. 275 mL/hr: This rate is slightly higher than the correct rate of 250 mL/hr.
