Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride IV infusion 1-L bag at a rate of 200 mL/hr for a client who has rhabdomyolysis. The nurse should expect the IV pump to infuse over how many hours? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Correct Answer: 5
Rationale:
To calculate the infusion time, divide the total volume (1000 mL) by the rate of infusion (200 mL/hr). This gives 5 hours for the IV pump to infuse the 1-L bag. The correct answer is 5. Other choices are incorrect because they do not result from the correct calculation.
Choice A: 2 hours (incorrect, not enough time for the infusion).
Choice B: 3 hours (incorrect, not enough time for the infusion).
Choice C: 4 hours (incorrect, not enough time for the infusion).
Choice D: 6 hours (incorrect, too long for the infusion).
Choice E: 7 hours (incorrect, too long for the infusion).
Choice F: 8 hours (incorrect, too long for the infusion).
Choice G: 9 hours (incorrect, too long for the infusion).
