ATI RN Dosage calculation ( 35 Questions)
Question 1 of 35 :
A nurse is preparing to administer lactated Ringer's 250 mL IV to infuse over 15 min.
The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver how many mL/hr? (Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Use a leading zero if it applies.
Do not use a trailing zero.). mL/hr.
Correct Answer: 1000
Step 1 is to calculate the total volume to be infused in mL/hr. This is done by dividing the total volume (250 mL) by the time in hours (15 min ÷ 60 min/hr). So, 250 mL ÷ (15 min ÷ 60 min/hr) = 1000 mL/hr.
So, the correct answer is 1000 mL/hr.
