Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's prescription for 1,000 ml of 5% dextrose in water IV to infuse over 8 hr. At 1400 the nurse observes that there is 500 ml of solution remaining in the client's current IV bag. At what time should the nurse administer the next bag of IV solution?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 1800.
To determine when to administer the next bag of IV solution, we need to consider the remaining 500 ml of solution in the current bag. Since the client was prescribed 1,000 ml to infuse over 8 hours, we know that half of the solution (500 ml) will infuse in 4 hours. Given that the observation was made at 1400, 4 hours later would be 1800. This ensures that the client receives the remaining 500 ml within the prescribed timeframe.
Choice A (1700) is incorrect because this would only be 3 hours after the observation time, not the necessary 4 hours.
Choice B (1600) and
Choice C (1500) are even earlier, not allowing enough time for the remaining solution to infuse properly.
