Starting at 0700, the infusion will complete at 1700, but the nurse typically hangs a new bag 1 hour before completion to avoid delays. 1300 is 6 hours in, leaving 400 mL; it allows enough time to prepare and change bags proactively.

B. 1100 is too early.

C. 1700 is too late – the bag would be empty by then.

D. 2200 is unrelated to the infusion timeline.
