A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride IV infusion 1-L bag at a rate of 200 mL/hr for a client who has rhabdomyolysis. The nurse should expect the IV pump to infuse over how many hours? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["5"]

To calculate the infusion time for a 1-L bag of 0.9% sodium chloride at a rate of 200 mL/hr, you would divide the total volume of the IV bag by the hourly infusion rate. Since there are 1000 mL in a 1-L bag, you would calculate 1000 mL divided by 200 mL/hr, which equals 5 hours.
