Question 1 of 5
A patient with fluid volume deficit must receive a 250 mL IV bolus of NS over 25 minutes via a peripherally inserted central line (PICC) on an IV pump. At what rate will the nurse program the pump? Round to the nearest whole number. Do not use trailing zeros.
Correct Answer: 600
Rationale:
To determine the rate, we first convert 25 minutes to hours (25 min ÷ 60 min = 0.42 hours).
Then, we divide the volume (250 mL) by the time (0.42 hours) to find the rate: 250 mL ÷ 0.42 hours = 595.24 mL/hr. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the nurse will program the pump to deliver the IV bolus at a rate of 600 mL/hr. This rate ensures the patient receives the 250 mL of normal saline over the specified 25-minute timeframe. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the required infusion rate based on the given information.
