11:20

12:20

13:20

14:20

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

To calculate the total infusion time, we need to divide the total volume to be infused by the infusion rate:.

Total infusion time = Total volume to be infused / Infusion rate.

In this case, the total volume to be infused is 1000 mL, and the infusion rate is 250 mL/hr:.

Total infusion time = 1000 mL / 250 mL/hr. Total infusion time = 4 hours.

Therefore, the infusion will be completed 4 hours after it was started at 09:20, which would be at 13:20.
