Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 250 mL IV to infuse over 30 min. The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr?(Round the answer to the nearest whole number. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
500
Rationale:
- Identify the total volume to infuse:
- 250 mL
- Identify the infusion time in minutes:
- 30 minutes
- Use the formula: mL/hr=(250÷30)×60
- First, divide the total volume by the number of minutes:250÷30=8.33
- Then, multiply the result by 60 (to convert from per minute to per hour):8.33×60=499.8
- Round to the nearest whole number:499.8 rounds to 500
