The information provided:
Volume of infusion - 1000 ml NS ( Normal Saline)
infusion time - 6 hours ( infusion time is the time duration over which the infusion needs to be given)
The order is = 1000 ml of NS to be given over 6 hrs
Formula for flow rate = Infusion volume / infusion time
= 1000 ml / 6 hr
= 166.6 ml/ hr = 167 ml / hr
Therefore, 167 ml/hr is the flow rate that needs to be set in the infusion pump.
Calculate the flow rate to be administered by an infusion pump: the nearest whole number) Ordered:...
1.) The physcian ordered 1/2 NS to run over 6 hours with a drip factor of 20gtt/mL. Calculate the correct IV flow rate to set on the infusion pump. Round to the nearest whole number. 2.) The physican ordered 750 mL D5 NS to infuse over 6 hours with a drop factor of 10 gtt/mL. Caculate the correct IV flow rate in mL per hour. Round to nearest whole number.
Ordered: 1.5 L D5 ½ NS IV to infuse over 20 hrs. by infusion pump. Calculate flow rate in mL/hr.
Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified. PLEASE HELP WITH 16 NURSING QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 1. A client’s intravenous fluids are infusing at the rate of 30 gtts/min. How many mL/h is the client receiving? 2. A client is prescribed 500 mL of intravenous fluid...

Order: One liter of 0.9% Sodium Chloride (NS) is to be administered in 6 hours by electronic infusion device (IV pump). The nurse should set the flow rate on the IV pump for _______ mL/hr. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Write only the number in the answer space. Please show me the work for it not just the answer.
Ordered 0.00084 kL NS IV to infuse in 13.1 hr by infusion pump. What is the IV flow rate in mL/hr?
Remember: You cannot give a decimal of a drop. You need to round it to the nearest whole number. All IV pumps use whole numbers to deliver ml/hr so your answer should be a whole number unless otherwise specified. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! 1. The order is for an IV of 1000 mL D5/0.9 NS q.12h.
