Question 1 of 5

The healthcare provider prescribed 2 liters of 5% Dextrose in water (D5W) to infuse in 24 hours. The IV administration set delivers 15 gtt/mL. How many mL/hour should the nurse program the infusion pump? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)

Correct Answer: 83

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) = (2000 / 24) x 60. Simplifying, we get: (mL/hour) = 83.333. (rounded mL/hour) = 83.
Therefore, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 83 mL/hour of D5W.
