The nurse is preparing a change of shift report for a client who has a 1000 mL infusion of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP that was started 5 hours ago at a rate of 125 mL/hour via an infusion pump. The nurse should report how many mL remain to be infused to the oncoming nurse? (Enter numeric value only. If rounding is required, round to the nearest whole number.)
The Correct Answer is ["375"]
To calculate the number of milliliters that remain to be infused, we can use the following formula: Volume remaining = Total volume - Volume infused
In this case, the total volume is 1000 mL and the volume infused is:
125 mL/hour x 5 hours = 625 mL So the volume remaining is:
1000 mL - 625 mL = 375 mL.

Correct Answer is ["1930"]
Explanation
The healthcare provider prescribes an IV solution of ampicillin 1 gram in 50 mL of Dextrose in Water (D/W) at 25 drops/minute.
The nurse uses an infusion set that delivers 15 drops/mL.
This means that the infusion rate is 1.67 mL/minute (25 drops/minute ÷ 15 drops/mL = 1.67 mL/minute).
Since the total volume of the solution is 50 mL, it will take approximately 30 minutes to infuse the entire solution (50 mL
÷ 1.67 mL/minute = 30 minutes).
If the nurse starts the infusion at 1900 (7:00 PM), the infusion should be completed at approximately 1930 (7:30 PM).
Correct Answer is ["8"]
Explanation
The client is receiving an IV infusion of regular insulin 60 units in 100 mL of normal saline at 5 units/hour. The concentration of insulin in the IV solution is 0.6 units/mL (60 units / 100 mL).
Since the healthcare provider prescribes 5 units/hour of insulin, the nurse should program the infusion pump to deliver 8 mL/hour of the IV solution (5 units/hour / 0.6 units/mL).
