Question 1 of 5

A patient with a renal calculi receives a prescription for an intravenous infusion of 0.9% Sodium chloride Injection, USP 1,000 mL to be infused over 2.5 hours. The nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver how many mL/hour?(Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 400

Rationale:
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (mL/hour) = (mL/minute) x 60. Substituting the given values, we get: (mL/hour) = (1000 / 150) x 60. Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = 6.667 x 60. (mL/hour) = 400.
Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 400 mL/hour of 0.9% Sodium chloride Injection, USP to the patient.
