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 mL/hr
Rationale: Calculate the desired flow rate (mL/hr): Desired flow rate (mL/hr) =
Total volume (mL) / Infusion time (hours). Desired flow rate (mL/hr) = 250 mL / 25 minutes. Desired flow rate (mL/hr) = 10 mL/minute. Convert mL/minute to mL/hour: 10 mL/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 600 mL/hour.
Therefore, the nurse should program the IV pump to deliver the 250 mL bolus of NS at a rate of 600 mL/hour.
