Question 1 of 5

The nurse is initiating a 500 mL IV of normal saline at 60 mL/hour for a client with heart failure. How many hours should the IV infuse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest tenth.)

Correct Answer: 8.3

Rationale: The correct answer is 8.3 hours.
To find the answer, we can use the following formula: (hours) = (mL of IV) / (mL/hour). Substituting the given values, we get: (hours) = (500) / (60). Simplifying, we get: (hours) = 8.333. (rounded hours) = 8.3.
Therefore, the IV should infuse for 8.3 hours.
