Order: 250 mL. Normal saline bolus IV over 30 minutes
On hand: 1L normal saline bags
W/hat rate will the nurse set the pump to deliver the fluid?
Explanation
To find the rate in mL/hr, we need to convert the time from minutes to hours and then divide the volume by the time. Here are the steps:
1. Convert 30 minutes to hours:
30 minutes/ (60 minutes/hour)= 0.5 hours
2. Calculate the rate in mL/hr:
250 mL/ 0.5 hours = 500 mL
So, the nurse will set the pump to deliver the fluid at a rate of 500 mL/hr.
