At 9:00 a.m. a nurse starts an intravenous (IV) infusion for a client at the rate of 120 mL/hr. If the volume of the fluid is 0.75 L, when will this infusion be completed?

3:01 p.m.

3:15 p.m.

3:25 p.m.

3:45 p.m.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

We can use the formula for calculating infusion time:. Infusion time = Total volume / Infusion rate.

First, we need to convert the volume of the fluid from liters to milliliters:.

0.75 L = 750 mL.

Next, we can plug in the values we have:. Infusion time = 750 mL / 120 mL/hr.

Infusion time = 6.25 hours.

Since the infusion was started at 9:00 a.m., we can add 6.25 hours to determine when the infusion will be completed:.

9:00 a.m. + 6.25 hours = 3:15 p.m..

Therefore, the infusion will be completed at 3:15 p.m.
