Question 1 of 5
A patient is receiving a 200 mL bolus of 0.9% normal saline (NS) to be infused over 20 minutes. The nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour?(Enter numeric value only.)
Correct Answer: 600
Rationale: The correct answer is 600 mL/hour.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL/hour) = (mL/minute) x 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (mL/hour) = (200 / 20) x 60. Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = 10 x 60. (mL/hour) = 600.
Therefore, the nurse should set the infusion pump to deliver 600 mL/hour of 0.9% NS to the patient.
