Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer 1 L of IV fluid over 6 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: 167 mL/hr
Rationale:
To calculate mL/hr for IV fluid administration, divide the total volume (1 L = 1000 mL) by the total time in hours (6 hr).
Therefore, 1000 mL / 6 hr = 166.67 mL/hr, rounded to 167 mL/hr. This rate ensures the patient receives the correct volume over the specified time. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation method or may not deliver the required volume within the specified time frame.
