Correct Answer is ["1700"]

Explanation

1. Calculate the remaining volume of fluid:

Remaining volume = Total volume - Volume infused

Remaining volume = 1000 mL - 500 mL = 500 mL

2. Calculate the remaining infusion time:

Remaining infusion time = Remaining volume / Infusion rate

Remaining infusion time = 500 mL / 100 mL/hr = 5 hours

3. Determine the time the infusion will be complete:

Current time: 1200 (12:00 PM)

Remaining infusion time: 5 hours

Time of completion: 1200 (12:00 PM) + 5 hours = 1700

Therefore, the nurse should expect to hang a new bag at 1700
