A nurse prepares 410. of an IV of normal saline solution to be delivered at a rate of 85mL / h What is the infusion time, in hours, to deliver 410. Express your answer to significant figures and include the appropriate units

1 answer

To determine the infusion time, we will divide the volume of fluid (410 mL) by the rate of infusion (85 mL/h):

410 mL / 85 mL/h = 4.82 h

To express the answer to the correct number of significant figures, we round to the nearest hundredth:

4.82 h (to two decimal places)

Therefore, the infusion time is 4.82 hours.
