A nurse is preparing to administer 0.9% sodium chloride 1,000 mL IV to infuse over 8 hr. 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.)

Answer 1

The nurse should set the IV pump to deliver 125 mL/hr.

To calculate this:
1000 mL ÷ 8 hr = 125 mL/hr
