CHAPTER 15: CALCULATING INFUSION AND COMPLETION TIME Name: Date: Instructions: Use military time in calculating the completion time of the following IV flow problems. 1. The doctor orders 1 L NS to infuse over 8 hours. The nurse starts the IV at 1400. At 1900, the patient pulls out the IV. The nurse restarts the IV at 2200 at the same rate. Starting with the amount of IV fluid left at 1900, calculate the new infusion time and the completion time of the IV. Infusion time 3hr Completion time 0100 2. The doctor orders 1 L Lactated Ringer's to infuse at 80 mL/hr. The nurse starts the IV at 2330. At 0330, the IV infiltrates. The nurse restarts the IV at 0400, at the same rate. Starting with the amount of IV fluid left at 0330, calculate the new infusion time and the completion time of the IV. Infusion time 8.5 bi Completion time 1230 3. The doctor orders 1 L DSW to infuse at 150 mL hr. The nurse starts the IV at 0900. At 1100, the doctor decreases the rate to 100 mL hr. Starting with the amount of IV fluid left at 1100, calculate the new infusion time and the completion time of the IV Infusion time in Completion time 1800 The doctor orders 500 ml. NS to infuse at 50 mL hr. The nurse starts the IV at 1200. At 1600, the uden at 1600, calculate

Answer 1

1 It Ns for 8 hrs. Time between 1400 & 1900 = 5hrs Remaining time Required = 8.5 = 3 hours Time started again. 2200 completion time = 2200 + 3 hours a compection time = 0100 ( New infusion time = 3 hours. - Completion time č 0100 Completon 1 2.) Ver It Ringer's Lactate at 80 ml/hr. Infusion time : Total volume (me) (mehr) Rate 1000 me 80 mehr Infusion time = 12.5 hrs. Time between 2330 a 0330 = 4 hours Remaining time required - 1205 - 4 hours 0 . 8.5 howus. Completion time 0400 + 8.5 hours. - 12 30 de New infusion time: 8.5 hours. completion time: 1230

3.) in D5W Infusion at 150 ml/ar... time = 1000 = 6.5 hours 150 At Time between 0900 and 1100 = 2 hours 150mh/hr. 6.5 hours = 1000 mL 2 hours = 2 Amount of fluid lost 100 = 2 x 1000 " 6.5 308 mb ..
