500

200

250

100

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The total volume to be infused is 500 mL. The total time for the infusion is 2 hours.

The formula to calculate the IV pump rate is: Rate (mL/hr) = Total Volume (mL) / Time (hr)

Rate (mL/hr) = 500 mL / 2 hr Rate (mL/hr) = 250 mL/hr

Therefore, the nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 250 mL/hr.
